متن کاملCYSTIC FIBROSIS Neutrophil cell death, activation and bacterial infection in cystic fibrosis
Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterised by chronic endobronchial bacterial infection and neutrophil mediated inflammation. Neutrophil apoptosis is essential for the resolution of inflammation. This study assessed the relationship between levels of neutrophil apoptosis and sputum microbiology in matched clinically stable patients with CF. Methods: Sputum was induced from 34 patients (n...

متن کاملBacterial reservoirs in cystic fibrosis.
To establish whether colonisation of the upper respiratory tract or bacterial contamination of inhaler devices or solutions predisposes to colonisation of the lower respiratory tract in patients with cystic fibrosis, bacterial isolates from groups of children who were positive (n = 13) or negative (n = 18) for Pseudomonas aeruginosa were studied. Cultures of swabs from inhaler devices, toothbru...
متن کاملSpontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cystic fibrosis.
Bacterial peritonitis presents with classic symptoms of fever and abdominal pain. Some patients, however, are completely asymptomatic. Death in the short term is considerable, especially in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. Cystic fibrosis patients occasionally develop biliary cirrhosis and may have secondary hypersplenism, varices, and ascites. These patients should be at risk for spontaneous...
