Abstract

Highlights

IV aminoglycosides are frequently used to treat infective exacerbations in CF due to efficacy against PA.

The side effects of aminoglycosides include nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity and vestibulotoxicity.

More than one third of UK CF centres use tobramycin to treat pulmonary exacerbations in children who have never isolated PA.

More than one half of UK CF centres use tobramycin to treat pulmonary exacerbations in children free of PA for >12 months.

IV aminoglycosides should be reserved for infective exacerbations in which PA is confirmed or strongly suspected.
