A member asked:
My child has asthma are they more likely to get pseudomonas aeruginosa?

No: Individuals with asthma are not at any higher risk to develop pseudomonas infection than general population. Exception would be when they develop a respiratory failure requiring ventilator support and ICU stay.

No: There is no known association between asthma and pseudomonas aeruginosa infections per se. Patients on high dose steroids who are hospitalized may be less able to fight off the infection - but there are no reported associations even in this extreme case.

No: Asthma does not predispose a person to a bateria such as pseudomonas. Very unlikely.
