Question: Recently my wife had Sinus surgery performed to rid her sinus cavity of polyps. She has always had bad allergies and the ENT doctor explained that this surgery would help her. About a month after the surgery she still was experiencing XXXXXXX mucus from her nose. After a few more visits the ENT cultured the strains of bacteria from her nose and came back with these strains:
Pseudomonas Putida (heaviest growth)
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia cystic
Acinetobacter lwoffii
Staphylococcus aureus

The ENT doctor then asked her if she has ever been tested for CF. To her knowledge she never has. She currently takes an inhaler for asthma but her peak flow readings are always better than average. She also has experienced IBS for the majority of her life, which has been accredited to her father's side of the family. She is in excellent health and very active. She battled a bad case of bronchitis a few years ago and visited a pulmonary doctor who diagnosed and corrected the bronchitis. The ENT doctor also explained that the Pseudomonas Putida bacteria is extremely rare and it's possible she could have contracted it from the sinus surgery. She will be going for her sweat test in about a week, what are the chances that these symptoms are not related to CF?

Thank you so much for your response, I'm praying that the sweat test results will prove your diagnosis!
