Cystic Fibrosis:
“Cystic fibrosis is an inherited

multisystem disorder Characterized by
obstruction & infection of airways &
maldigestion & its consequences”.
Genetics:
AR – 1/3500 live births
Gene locus on long arm of chromosome 7
CF gene -CF transmembrane regulator(CFTR)
CFTR- cAMP - regulated chloride channel
Expressed on ephitheial cells
>1500 mutations-most prevalent ∆F508
The net ion flow across normal and cystic fibrosis cell
Pathophysiology (cont…)
1- Paucity of water in mucus secretions
2- Failure to clear mucous secretions
3- Ch. infection limited to respiratory tract
4- Elevated salt content of sweat & other
serous secretions

Other Investigations as Indicated
Cardiac: ECG, Echocardiography
GIT: S. proteins, LFTs, coagulation
studies, x-ray abdomen, USG abdomen,

Other: urea & electrolytes
Management of CF:
Aims:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Ensure optimal growth & development
Delaying progress of pulmonary disease
Preventing & treating complications
Normal life style
Patient & family education
Recognition & treatment of psychological
complications

Multidisciplinary approach
Treatment:
1- Treatment of Lung disease
2- Treatment of Gastrointestinal disease
3- Nutritional therapy
4- Treatment of Complications
Treatment of lung disease:
1. Antibiotics
2. Chest physiotherapy
3. Nebulized treatment
4. Bronchodilators
5. Anti inflamatory treatment
6. Mucolytic treatment
7. Management of allergic pulm.Aspergilosis
8. Hemoptysis
9. Pneumothorax
10. Cor- Pulmonale
11. Immunization- influenza
Antibiotic therapy:
Staph aureus, H. influenzae,
P. aeruginos, Burkholderia cepacia
Intermittent oral Antibiotic Therapy
Continous oral Antibiotic Therapy
I/V antibiotic therapy
Important points to remember areSputum cultures do reflect lung flora
Double dose
Adult dose from 7yrs
Chest Physio Therapy
Postural drainage
Percusion & vibration
10-20 min, One to 4 time a day

Corpulmonale
Thank You

disease
Dose: 2.5 mg OD
Pulmonary Treatment
(Cont…)
Aerosolized Antibiotic Therapy
Inhaled tobramycin, 300mg twice daily
on alternate months for 6 months
Ticarcillin, 0.5g, BD OR QID
Colistin, 20-40mg, BD OR QID
Pulmonary Treatment (Cont…)
Intravenous Antibiotic Therapy
Indicated in pts. Who have progressive
or unrelenting symptoms or signs
despite intensive home measures
Period of treatment is 14 days
Pseudomonas requires 2 drug therapy
The net ion flow across normal and cystic fibrosis
Other Diagnostic Tests
↑ potential difference across nasal epithelium
Loss of this difference with topical amiloride
application
Absence of voltage response to B–adrenergic
agonist
Failure to sweat when a combination of
isoproterenol and atropine is injected in
skin
Pathophysiology
CFTR mutation
In airways cells can’t excrete
Cl- from cells into the lumen
through cAMP mediated
CFTR channels
Cl- is trapped inside the cells
sodium follows chloride &
water follows sodium
secretions in the lumen
become viscous & elastic
& are harder to clear
Secretions are Retained
& obstruct airway

In sweat glands cAMP
mediated conductance of
Cl- in to the cells is defective
so Cl- can’ t be absorbed
from the sweat
sodium follows chloride

salt is lost in sweat

Diagnostic Criteria for Cystic Fibrosis Presence of typical clinical features OR History of CF in a sibling OR Positive newborn screening test PLUS Lab evidence for CFTR dysfunction Two elevated sweat Chloride tests OR Identification of 2 CF mutations OR An abnormal nasal potential difference measurement
  • 19. Diagnosis: Sweat Testing > 60mEq/L of chloride in sweat Threshold levels of 40mEq/L have been suggested Values b/w 40-60mEq/L suggest CF at all ages
  • 20. Radiology Pulmonary Hyperinflation of lung, Atelactasis & Bronchiectasis Dilated pulmonary artery segment Paranasal Sinuses Pan opacification Failure of frontal sinus to develop Fetal USG Ileal obstruction with meconium in 2nd trimester
  • 21. Pulmonary Function Not obtained till 5-6 yrs of age RV & FRC are increased (early) Declining total lung capacity & VC(late) Microbiological Studies Staph aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, B. cepacia
  • 22. Newborn Screening Immunoreactive trysinogen in blood spots Confirmatory sweat & DNA testing Other Investigations as Indicated Cardiac: ECG, Echocardiography GIT: S. proteins, LFTs, coagulation studies, x-ray abdomen, USG abdomen, hepatobiliary Tc-99 Scintigraphy, PTC, ERCP, pancreatic function tests Other: urea & electrolytes
  • 23. Management of CF: Aims: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Ensure optimal growth & development Delaying progress of pulmonary disease Preventing & treating complications Normal life style Patient & family education Recognition & treatment of psychological complications Multidisciplinary approach
  • 24. Treatment: 1- Treatment of Lung disease 2- Treatment of Gastrointestinal disease 3- Nutritional therapy 4- Treatment of Complications
  • 25. Treatment of lung disease: 1. Antibiotics 2. Chest physiotherapy 3. Nebulized treatment 4. Bronchodilators 5. Anti inflamatory treatment 6. Mucolytic treatment 7. Management of allergic pulm.Aspergilosis 8. Hemoptysis 9. Pneumothorax 10. Cor- Pulmonale 11. Immunization- influenza
  • 26. Antibiotic therapy: Staph aureus, H. influenzae, P. aeruginos, Burkholderia cepacia Intermittent oral Antibiotic Therapy Continous oral Antibiotic Therapy I/V antibiotic therapy Important points to remember areSputum cultures do reflect lung flora Double dose Adult dose from 7yrs
  • 27. Chest Physio Therapy Postural drainage Percusion & vibration 10-20 min, One to 4 time a day Routine aerobic exercises
  • 29. Bronchodilator Treatment: Increased bronchial activity in 40-75 % pts Standard asthma treatment Anti- Inflamatory treatment: Long term corticosteroids & Ibuoprofen – Slow the progres of CF

  • 42. Pathophysiology CFTR mutation In airways cells can’t excrete Cl- from cells into the lumen through cAMP mediated CFTR channels Cl- is trapped inside the cells sodium follows chloride & water follows sodium secretions in the lumen become viscous & elastic & are harder to clear Secretions are Retained & obstruct airway In sweat glands cAMP mediated conductance of Cl- in to the cells is defective so Cl- can’ t be absorbed from the sweat sodium follows chloride salt is lost in sweat
