Combined antifungal therapy is superior to monotherapy in pulmonary scedosporiosis in cystic fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterised by chronic airway infection with bacteria and fungi. Infections caused by Scedosporium/Lomentospora species can occur and are difficult to treat. Moulds belonging to the genus Scedosporium/Lomentospora are detected most frequently in respiratory samples of patients with CF, next to Aspergillus spp.

Unlabelled: The patients' perspective is an important aspect of quality management. A newly developed disease-specific questionnaire was used to assess the patients' experiences with care provided in specialised cystic fibrosis (CF) care centres.

Methods: 90 CF centres in Germany were invited to participate.
