Inhalation of 6% NaCl solution with eflow rapid
Hello, The CF center told me, that they would not prescribe the eflow rapid nebulizer for our daughter, as it would not be suitable for the inhalation with 6% NaCl solution. In the product leaflet however, it says that 6% NaCl can be inhaled with the eflow, only the membrane has to be well cared for: immediately rinsing, two times a week backwash, after each inhalation disinfection. What do you think? Best regards,

DF508 mutation and mutation of unknown significance
I am 22 weeks pregnant in my second child. I was to be a carrier of the DF508 mutation, while my husband carries the c3118c>T (L1040f) mutation, of unknown clinical significance. We were not tested when we had our first child, and the geneticians advised us to test our firstborn, who was found to carry both mutations. His clinical picture is excellent, as is his growth. In 2.5 years he has suffered only one bronchiolitis and episodes of laryngitis, without high fever. His sweat test is 47. We were advised not to do an amniocentesis, since, based on the picture of our child, even if the fetus carries both mutations, the symptoms will be very mild. 1) Can the symptoms in the future become severe? 2) Since it is a boy, is sterility a given? 3) What does a borderline sweat test mean? Is it not positive? Thank you!
