Successful Pregnancy in a Patient With Advanced Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease and <i>Burkholderia cenocepacia</i> Colonization

Cystic fibrosis (CF) affects multiple aspects of health, including reproduction and fertility. This report details a case of a 38-year-old woman with several complications from her CF, including advanced CF lung disease, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, asthma, and airway colonization with Burkholderia cenocepacia, who became pregnant and successfully delivered a baby boy without significant complications. This was an unplanned pregnancy 4 years after initiation of elexaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor therapy, a CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapy that has significantly improved various health outcomes in patient populations with CF, including the reproductive health of women.

Abstract

Cystic fibrosis (CF) affects multiple aspects of health, including reproduction and fertility. This report details a case of a 38-year-old woman with several complications from her CF, including advanced CF lung disease, pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, asthma, and airway colonization with Burkholderia cenocepacia, who became pregnant and successfully delivered a baby boy without significant complications. This was an unplanned pregnancy 4 years after initiation of elexaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor therapy, a CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapy that has significantly improved various health outcomes in patient populations with CF, including the reproductive health of women.
