Hi all...just wondering for those who have gone through this with drugs that they were allergic to, what it entails? I ask because my last culture grew out high colonies of B. cepacia despite aggressive IV therapy and found out that it was resistant to everything but bactrim and Cipro, both of which I am very allergic too. My doc wants to send me to my CF center to see an immunologist to admit me to their ICU and desensitize me. What should I expect? Have any of you had adverse reactions to desensitization? And more importantly, did it work??? I just want to know, I have read stuff on the internet, but I like to ask people about their experiences with this. I am at my last resort to treating this bug, to at least get the colonies down....I am on my 3rd week of IV's at home, I would hate to see all of that treatment not do any good.
I would appreciate any comments.
