The patient was awaiting lung transplantation for end-stage lung disease due to cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis had been diagnosed at birth, and he was homozygous for the F508 mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR). He had been hospitalized at least annually for complications of the disease, most recently 1 year earlier because of pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. His daily pulmonary care included albuterol and hypertonic saline by nebulizer, followed sequentially by physical therapy with the vest system of high-frequency chest-wall oscillation and colistin by nebulizer. Other medications included trimethoprim–sulfamethoxazole twice daily; during the 2 months before admission, ciprofloxacin and tobramycin aerosol treatments were administered because of worsening cough, declining pulmonary function, and sputum cultures that were positive for P. aeruginosa.
