title: Burkholderia gladioli - a predictor of poor outcome in cystic fibrosis patients who receive lung transplants? A case of locally invasive rhinosinusitis and persistent bacteremia in a 36-year-old lung transplant recipient with cystic fibrosis.
abstract: There have been very few reports describing postlung transplant outcomes in patients' infected⁄colonized with Burkholderia gladioli pretransplant. A case involving a lung transplant recipient with cystic fibrosis who ultimately died as a result of severe rhinosinusitis due to B gladioli infection in the context of postlung transplant immunosuppression is reported.
