The clinical consequences of chronic Stenotrophomonas maltophilia infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) patient are still unclear.
All patients treated in the Copenhagen CF centre (N=278) from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2009 were included. Each patient chronically infected with S. maltophilia for at least 2 years without any other chronic Gram-negative infection were matched to two non-infected CF controls.
Twenty-one patients were chronically infected with S. maltophilia during the 2-year study period. Fifteen were infected for at least 2 years. The patients in the S. maltophilia group had a steeper decline (-3.2%/year vs. -0.3%/year) in FEV(1) compared to the non-infected CF controls (P=0.03). The rate of decline was the same as observed 3 years before the patients became chronically infected.
Chronic infection with S. maltophilia does not lead to a steeper decline in lung function when compared to the period before chronic infection.
慢性嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌感染在囊性纤维化(CF)患者中的临床后果尚不清楚。
纳入了 2008 年 1 月 1 日至 2009 年 12 月 31 日期间在哥本哈根 CF 中心接受治疗的所有患者(N=278)。所有患者均至少慢性感染嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌 2 年且无其他慢性革兰氏阴性感染。将每个慢性感染嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌的患者与两名未感染 CF 的对照患者相匹配。
在 2 年的研究期间,21 名患者被慢性感染嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌。其中 15 例至少感染 2 年。与未感染 CF 的对照组相比,嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌组患者的 FEV1 下降速度更快(-3.2%/年 vs. -0.3%/年)(P=0.03)。该下降速度与患者慢性感染前 3 年的观察结果相同。
与慢性感染前相比,慢性嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌感染并不会导致肺功能下降得更快。
