Maintaining Respiratory Health in Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system, however, it also affects a number of other organs and systems. More than 90% of mortality of CF patients is due to lung complications. Healthy lungs are important for a long life for people with CF, We will discuss two important topics for maintaining respiratory health. Chronic use of drug...

متن کاملCystic fibrosis respiratory tract salt concentration
In cystic fibrosis patients, electrolytic and osmolality imbalance secondary to cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator mutations may impact on mucoid secretion accumulation and secondary colonization by opportunistic pathogens such as nontuberculous mycobacteria.We performed a noninvasive exploratory prospective controlled clinical study comparing sputum salinity and acid-base char...
متن کاملCurrent microbiological data on lower respiratory tract infection in cystic fibrosis. Part II: Recommendations for microbiological diagnosis in cystic fibrosis.
Current standards of sputum examination in respiratory infections with opportunistic bacteria cannot be applied to patients with cystic fibrosis due to their particularities. In 2010, a working group from Great Britain established standards for microbiological processing of samples from patients with cystic fibrosis. Recommendations on sample collection, transportation, storage, and processing,...
