Sweat testing in CF.
The European Diagnostic Working Group presented comprehensive diagnostic algorithms for cystic fibrosis (CF) and confirmed the fundamental role of the sweat test for the diagnosis of CF. However, several important differences between well-accepted guidelines for sweat testing 3 and the recommendations of the Working Group need to be discussed. An adequate sweat sampling volume depends on the sa...
متن کاملAirways reactivity in patients with CF.
Airways reactivity, hyper-reactivity, and hyper-responsiveness are terms used to describe airways for which there appears to be increased bronchial smooth muscle tone or responsiveness. Some patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) have concomitant asthma causing airway hyperresponsiveness as manifested by recurrent acute symptoms of dyspnea that is impressively responsive to an inhaled beta 2 agonis...
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa, cyanide accumulation and lung function in CF and non-CF bronchiectasis patients.
In patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and non-CF bronchiectasis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most important respiratory pathogen. 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 کاملClinical Outcome of CF Patients with CF Related Diabetes: Do We Need to Change Our Policy?
Background: Many studies have shown that CFRD has a negative impact on CF prognosis. Current guidelines advise to screen for CFRD with an OGTT yearly from the age of 10 12. In our center we do not routinely screen for CFRD because the OGTT is cumbersome and not an ideal screening test. We therefore want to exclude unfavourable clinical evolution due to late diagnosis. Methods: 23 CF patients wi...
متن کاملClass 1 CF Mutations
Since the discovery of the gene that causes Cystic Fibrosis, our knowledge of how mutations in this gene cause the varied pathophysiological manifestations of this disease has increased substantially. This knowledge has led to the possibility of new therapeutic approaches aimed at the basic defect. Class I mutations of CFTR include premature termination codons (PTCs) or stop codons. In the last...
