This Brazilian Model died of a general infection caused by PA. How on earth does that happen. I have never heard of this. I use to work in a hospital and you would hear of PA in someone's cath line or something....but, this is so drastic.

Not CF related....so those of you who are a bit paranoid about what you read on the internet....don't generalize to your culture of PA or THINK at all that this happens in the CF population. I am just trying to understand the biology of this one.

For what it's worth there are all kinds of ways to get pa. Here's a medline article with other ways and other places pa shows up in the body: <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/226748-overview">http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/226748-overview</a> . When it gets to septicemia the infection is almost always fatal.
