Outcome of Cystic Fibrosis in Patients with Bronchiectasis
Introduction: Bronchiectasis is a common problem in children especially under 5 years. Early diagnosis of disease and its causes could be useful in early treatment and preventing probable complications. This study aimed at evaluating the cystic fibrosis (CF) in patients with bronchiectasis. Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 374 children with bronchiectasis were studied. The diagnosis was ma...
متن کاملMeasurement of nasal potential difference in adult cystic fibrosis, Young's syndrome, and bronchiectasis.
Previous work confirmed the abnormal potential difference between the undersurface of the inferior nasal turbinate and a reference electrode in cystic fibrosis, but the technique is difficult and the results show overlap between the cystic fibrosis and the control populations. In the present study the potential difference from the floor of the nose has therefore been assessed in normal subjects...
متن کاملCould a defective epithelial sodium channel lead to bronchiectasis
BACKGROUND Bronchiectasis is defined as a permanent dilation of the airways arising from chronic bronchial inflammation/infection. In 50% of cases, no etiology can be identified. Recently, the role of the epithelial sodium channel ENaC has been pointed out in the pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis, a disease due to mutations in the CFTR gene and causing bronchiectasis in the airways. Moreover, ...
متن کاملRespiratory epithelial ion transport in patients with disseminated bronchiectasis.
The nosological limits between disseminated bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis (CF) remain unclear. In patients with isolated congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens, a forme fruste of the CF disease, a normal baseline nasal transepithelial potential difference (PD) but an impaired response to pharmacological interventions have been reported. The purpose of the present study was to exp...
