Is this treatment an option for Bronchiectasis with Pseudomonas? Or just for those with CF? Is this an inpatient treatment or outpatient? Would love to know more. Thank you!

I am referring to the treatment at UCSD mentioned above along with an email contact to apply. Thank you!

Hello Irene, As you can see from Linda's (@becleartoday) posts, this Phage treatment is being offered in Tlibisi, Georgia in Europe.
In addition to the link she provided to one of the clinics, here is the link to a published paper describing three patients and the illnesses they are treating, their specific results and descriptions of the currently fluid nature of the process.

To find the information about pseudomonas specifically, search the article for the term. You can do this by pressing <Ctrl><F> and a search box will pop up. Type in pseudomonas to find what you are looking for.

I would say this is an emerging, very promising therapy. There is a lot of research and testing underway, & I hope it will soon include those in our group.
