microbial colonization and drug resistance in patients with cystic fibrosis
background cystic fibrosis (cf) is a genetic disease with an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. cf caused by a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (cftr) gene and characterized by impaired transport of chloride ions across the cell membrane. staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, and burkholderia cepacia have been identified in the cultures of re...
متن کاملLung function in infants with cystic fibrosis.
Lung function was measured in 28 infants with cystic fibrosis and repeated in 17 of the infants during the first year of life. Thoracic gas volume (TGV) and specific airway conductance (sGaw) were measured plethysmographically and maximum forced expiratory flow at functional residual capacity (VmaxFRC) was derived from the partial expiratory flow-volume curve. At the time of the initial evaluat...
متن کامل[Pulmonary function in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis].
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between nutritional status measurements and pulmonary function in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis. METHODS We evaluated the nutritional status of 48 children and adolescents (aged 6-18 years) with cystic fibrosis based on body mass index (BMI) and body composition measurements-mid-arm muscle circumference (MAMC) and triceps skinfold thicknes...
متن کاملSymptoms of depression impact the course of lung function in adolescents and adults with cystic fibrosis
BACKGROUND Epidemiological studies report high rates of depression among patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Assuming a causal relationship between depression and the progression of CF, our hypothesis is that elevated symptoms of depression would be a predictor of worse lung function after two years. METHODS In the context of the TIDES study, 473 German patients with CF (age 12-53 years, FEV1...
متن کاملChanges in Cystic Fibrosis Airway Microbial Community Associated with a Severe Decline in Lung Function
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease resulting in chronic polymicrobial infections of the airways and progressive decline in lung function. To gain insight into the underlying causes of severe lung diseases, we aimed at comparing the airway microbiota detected in sputum of CF patients with stable lung function (S) versus those with a substantial decline in lung function (SD). Microbiota co...
