Following the Clinical and Functional Status of an #Adolescent with #CysticFibrosis: Case Report by Cássio Daniel Araújo da Silva in BJSTR

Abstract

#CysticFibrosis (CF) is a multisystem #geneticdisease whose main cause of #morbidity and #mortality is progressive impairment of lung function associated with loss of quality of life and functional capacity. We report the clinical case of an 18-year-old adolescent accompanied at a reference center with #bronchialhyper-secretion, recurrent infections, bacterial colonization, important obstructive ventilatory disorder, and pulmonary #computedtomography (CT) showing a heterogeneous pattern. The authors emphasize the importance of continuous monitoring of #pulmonary, nutritional and functional parameters, allowing for more effective early interventions.
