It is able to synthesise hydrogen cyanide, a potent inhibitor of cellular respiration. The present study investigated whether cyanide is present in the sputum of CF and non-CF bronchiectasis patients infected with P. aeruginosa, and whether the detection of cyanide...
متن کاملThe etiologies of non-CF bronchiectasis in childhood: a systematic review of 989 subjects
