Nasal endoscopic evaluation of children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis.

Incidence and evolution of nasal polyps in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis Summary

Nasal nitric oxide levels and nasal polyposis in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis.

IMPORTANCE The counterintuitive decrease of exhaled nitric oxide (NO) levels in a severe inflammatory disorder like cystic fibrosis (CF) is only scarcely understood. Because NO is important in a variety of regulatory processes in the lung, including host defense, inflammation, and bronchomotor control, it is necessary to search for clarifying mechanisms. OBJECTIVES To explore whether fraction...

Nasal polyposis in cystic fibrosis: follow-up of children and adolescents for a 3-year period.

INTRODUCTION Nasal polyposis is often found in patients with cystic fibrosis. OBJECTIVE To assess the incidence of nasal polyposis, the response to medical treatment, recurrence and the need for surgical intervention in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis during a three-year follow-up. METHODS Clinical symptoms (pulmonary, pancreatic insufficiency, malnutrition, nasal obstruction)...

Incidence and evolution of nasal polyps in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis.

UNLABELLED Nasal polyps are a clinical sign of alert for investigating Cystic Fibrosis (CF). AIMS To study the incidence of nasal polyps in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis, its possible association with age, gender, clinical manifestations, genotype and sweat chlorine level, and its evolution with topical steroid therapy. METHODS Clinical symptoms, sweat chlorine level and gen...

Cardiac Involvement in Mild Cystic Fibrosis Lung Involvement Assessed by Tissue‐Doppler Echocardiography

Background:Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a systemic disease affecting extra pulmonary dysfunction as a result of CF-related lung disease. Because of lack of enough studies in this field and utilization of TDE in this field, we aimed to evaluate t...
