Cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder characterized by the production of sweat with a high salt content and mucus secretions with an abnormal viscosity.

Eosinophilic esophagitis in cystic fibrosis: a case series and review of the literature.
Goralski JL, Lercher DM, Davis SD, Dellon ES.
J Cyst Fibros. 2013;12(1):9-14.
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) frequently experience gastrointestinal symptoms including nausea, emesis, malnutrition and indigestion; diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), distal intestinal obstructive syndrome, and cholelithiasis are commonly implicated.

 MALE Adult
A 41-year-old male with cough, wheeze, and dyspnea poorly responsive to asthma therapy.
Ricketti PA, Ricketti AJ, Cleri DJ, Seelagy M, Unkle DW, Vernaleo JR.
Allergy Asthma Proc. 2010;31(4):355-8.
The differential diagnosis for unresponsive disease includes poorly controlled asthma, noncompliance with medical regimen, vocal cord dysfunction, rhinosinusitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease or recurrent aspiration, foreign body aspiration, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, Churg-Strauss vasculitis, cardiac disorders such as congestive heart failure or mitral stenosis, or other pulmonary disorders such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, pulmonary embolism, cystic fibrosis, airway neoplasms, or laryngotracheomalacia.

The significance of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) and aspiration are unclear in cystic fibrosis (CF) and may contribute to declining lung function before and after lung transplantation (LTx).

 MALE Infant
A wheezy infant unresponsive to bronchodilators.
Go RO, Martin TR, Lester MR.
Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol. 1997;78(5):449-56.
A careful history and physical examination reveal important diagnostic clues that, in this case, prompted a directed evaluation to rule out common masqueraders of asthma such as foreign body aspiration, cystic fibrosis, gastroesophageal reflux, viral pneumonitis, or pulmonary tuberculosis.
