the fact that there is no answers to how do you treat pseudonymus does that mean that it can't be treated?

It's quite easy to treat, and even to cure :) You just have to stop writing under a false name ...............

This question be answered by googling it - Easy!!

Hi fletcher-fox. Do you mean pseudomonas? If so, I have it and it can definitely be treated, with either oral ciprofloxacin or nebulised colomycin. Please confirm if we're talking about the same thing and if so I'll give you the details

Having read your post a number of times, I've either finally gone gaga or, in fact, it makes no sense whatsoever!

I've just checked my dictionary and come up with this:

Definition of pseudomonas

noun

Microbiology

a bacterium which occurs in soil and detritus, including a number that are pathogens of plants or animals.

•Genus Pseudomonas; aerobic Gram-negative bacteria

If fletcher-fox is making a genuine enquiry then I hope they will accept my humble apology for what was an attempt at humour by me.

My husband has this condition and would like to know more about it couldn't find it on the BLF site though. Get so confused with what treats what.

Hello fletcher-fox & badham

A quick rundown: the most common form of pseudomonas is "pseudomonas aeruginosa" and it's a very nasty gram-negative bacteria which is only susceptible to a few antibiotics. It's important it is treated aggressively, but the only oral antibiotic which is effect is ciprofloxacin.

Unfortunately it frequently goes on to colonise the lungs of vulnerable people (eg those with cystic fibrosis or non-cf bronchiectasis.) Once this happens it is virtually impossible to eliminate it permanently, which is what has happened to me. However, if you're careful with your health then pseudomonas can be kept at bay by a regime of nebulised antibiotics, low-dose azithromycin, and regular daily physiotherapy. But inevitably it does flare up from time to time and when it does you will need admission to hospital for IV antibiotics

Hope this helps

I have had pseudomonas twice. On both occasions I was treated with a 14 day course of antibiotics and I was fine.
