Protracted neonatal hypertrypsinogenaemia, normal sweat chloride, and cystic fibrosis.
The cystic fibrosis (CF) clinical spectrum has greatly expanded in the past few years, including atypical forms with low sweat chloride concentrations. Two cases are presented which suggest that children detected by neonatal CF screening whose trypsinogen concentrations are still raised by the second month of age could, despite a negative sweat test, be affected by an atypical CF with fully exp...
متن کاملSerum immunoreactive trypsin in cystic fibrosis.
Serum immunoreactive trypsin (IRT) concentrations were measured blind in sera from 33 patients with cystic fibrosis and in 32 age-matched controls. Thirty-two patients had abnormal trypsin concentrations. In 30 of these patients the level of IRT was very low whereas in the other two (the youngest of the group) it was extremely high. All 30 patients with low IRT concentrations had clinical or bi...
متن کاملNeonatal screening for cystic fibrosis.
Two groups of patients with cystic fibrosis were compared. The screened group, detected with an improved neonatal screening assay for immunoreactive trypsin, developed fewer chest infections requiring treatment and gained more weight than the unscreened group. Early diagnosis by screening seems to affect early morbidity.
متن کاملMacrorheology of cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease & normal sputum
BACKGROUND Prior microrheologic assessments of selected, microlitre plugs of cystic fibrosis (CF) sputum suggest no intrinsic rheologic abnormality. However, such analyses may not be representative of CF sputum as a whole. We therefore reassessed this question using whole sputum macrorheology. Additionally, we wished to further explore the relationships between sputum rheology, inflammation and...
