Resources for immunocompromised patient and pseudomonas infection

@johncf Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am sorry to hear your friend has been having this ongoing situation with no relief at this point.
Pseudomonas infection can be tricky to deal with. There are many variations and sometimes trying to get the correct form of antibiotics in place is a challenge. Here is an excellent article from the Cleveland Clinic about this type of infection: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/25164-pseudomonas-infection It appears a concise answer for what/where/cause of the infection is important to really get rid of it.
Has your friend recently undergone a transplant, and this is why you posted within the transplant support group? If so, what type of transplant did they receive?

Hi, sorry, looks like I accidentally posted to the wrong group.
Not sure if it can be moved. Otherwise I may try to repost in a couple of days.
Although my understanding is that people with transplants may also be susceptible to similar infections.
Thanks for the link above. I have done some research, and as a lay person am familiar with the general topics. I was trying to find out more/learn from people that have gone through similar situations, although it could be that each case is unique
