A member asked:
I'm worried because my daughter who has had a bilateral lung transplant has been diagnosed with a new superbug in her lungs, what do you suggest?

Treatment center: Your daughter I am sure is under the care of multiple doctors. It is not our place here to interfere with their care with wrong recommendations. She is already under a treatment center and the registry. There are now too many superbugs that her doctors, including infectious diseases are taking care of her, and well. Talk to them, they all care, that's why they're in the circle. Good luck.

Antibiotics: She should be managed at the institution that did the transplant. They have experience in treating odd infections and adjusting the immunotherapy to maintain the lung transplant.
