Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial infection

Pseudomonas aeruginosa - a modern and Ayurvedic view of treatment   

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative, motile, aerobic bacterium that can cause a wide range of infections. It is particularly known for its ability to infect the respiratory tract, urinary tract, burns and wounds, and can also cause systemic infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is known for its ability to cause a variety of infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals, and is of concern for its resistance to many common antibiotics.

Here are some of the main areas and types of infections that Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause:

1. Respiratory Tract: May cause serious respiratory infections, including pneumonia. It is especially dangerous for patients with chronic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
2. Skin and Wounds: May infect burns, wounds or other damaged areas of skin, often leading to inflammation, suppuration and impaired wound healing.
3. Urinary Tract: May cause urinary tract infections, especially in patients with long-term catheters.
4. Eyes: May cause conjunctivitis and other eye infections.
5. Ears: May cause ear inflammation, especially in people who often swim in contaminated waters.
6. Blood and Systemic Infections: In rare cases, it can cause septicemia or bacteremia, where bacteria enter the bloodstream and can cause systemic infections.
7. Immune System: Persons with weakened immune systems, including those undergoing chemotherapy or HIV positive, are particularly susceptible to infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Causes of origin

According to the principles of Ayurvedic medicine, the emergence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is associated with reduced resistance of the body and an imbalance in the doshas (vata, pitta, kapha). Digestive disorders, insufficient detoxification and a weakened immune system can create an environment favorable for the reproduction of harmful bacteria. 

Risk Groups

• persons with chronic diseases such as cystic fibrosis
• patients with a weakened immune system, including those undergoing chemotherapy or HIV positive
• patients in hospitals, especially those with long-term catheters or on artificial respiration
