CYSTIC FIBROSIS
Lynne M. Quittell, M.D.Director, CF CenterColumbia University
What is Cystic Fibrosis?
Chronic, progressive and life limiting autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by chronic respiratory disease, pancreatic insufficiency, elevation of sweat electrolytes and male infertility
Genetics of CFMost common lethal genetic disease in Causasians
30,000 affected individuals in US27,000 in Europe
CFTR - cAMP regulated chloride channel located in apical membrane of glandular epithelium – Long arm of chromosome #7
D508 most common mutation1000 identified mutations
– Encodes for a protein of 1480 amino acids– Defective ion transport
“Wehe dem Kind, das beim Kuss auf die Stirn salzig
schmekt, er ist verhext und muss bald sterben”
“Woe is the child who tastes salty from a kiss on the brow, for he is cursed , and soon must die”

CFTR
Abnormalities in the CFTR protein change the constituents of mucous and result in abnormal reabsorption of water, creating thickened mucus and inadequate mucociliary function.The CF airway has many changes leading to mucous plugging, chronic infection, and inflammation.

SafetyAdherence? Delay in progression of the disease
ISSUES
Diffuse Pan-bronchiolitis (DPB)
DPB clinically resembles CF– More common in Japan than in Western countries – Age of onset between 30 and 60 years of age
Chronic lower respiratory tract infection– Neutrophils predominant inflammatory cell – H. influenzae and S. pneumonia early in disease – P. aeruginosa major pathogen later
70% of patients have mucoid strains– Progress to bronchiectasis and respiratory failure
Pancreatic insufficiency not a clinical feature

Treating Airway infections
Prophylactic treatment– prevent colonization
Exacerbations– improves lung function– reduces inflammation– decreases bacterial density
First isolates– may delay colonization
Antibiotics
