Bronchial tree‐shaped mucous plug in cystic fibrosis: imaging‐guided management
We report the case of a 17-year-old boy with cystic fibrosis (CF) who presented with persistent cough; after starting intravenous antibiotics for Pseudomonas aeruginosa he underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan of the chest. CT revealed extensive consolidation in the right lower lobe with relative bronchus obstruction; the cause of bronchial obstruction was detected in the mediastinal window...
متن کاملBronchial lability in cystic fibrosis.
to the severity of pulmonary involvement assessed clinically and radiologically, and with those found in asthmatic children and those with a history of wheezy bronchitis in early childhood. In patients with CF, bronchial lability was found even in those with minimal pulmonary involvement. The lability was due not only to bronchoconstriction but to a dilatation which was greater than occurs in n...
متن کاملCystic Fibrosis Bronchial Epithelial Cells
In cystic fibrosis (CF), inflammatory mediator production by airway epithelial cells is a critical determinant of chronic airway inflammation. To determine whether altered signal transduction through the nuclear factor (NF)k B pathway occurs in CF epithelial cells and results in excessive generation of inflammatory cytokines, we evaluated tumor necrosis factor (TNF)a –induced production of the ...
متن کاملBronchial artery embolisation in cystic fibrosis patients
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive genetic disease characterised by impaired muco-ciliary clearance. Although the disease affects multiple organs, 85% of mortality results from lung pathology relating to persistent recurrent infections, an exaggerated inflammatory response and progressive airways obstruction which ultimately leads to respiratory failure. Haemoptysis is a common symptom of CF w...
متن کاملGenotypic analysis of respiratory mucous sulfation defects in cystic fibrosis.
Intracellular dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) has been proposed to alter endosomal acidification. The most widely studied consequence of this defect has been alterations in the biochemical properties of cystic fibrosis (CF) respiratory mucus glycoproteins. However, studies confirming the existence of mucous processing defects in CF have been hindere...
