Moderate forms
Hello, My son 9 months old, has moderate form cystic fibrosis F508 / R347H. He is to this day without symptoms, without pancreatic involvement. I do not understand the term "mild" since I am told that this can evolve into a classic form like staying moderate. Do moderate forms have a somewhat greater life expectancy? Given the form he has, does he have a chance of remaining asymptomatic until adulthood? Can this disease remain silent for several years and degrade rapidly thereafter? It is difficult to find patients with the same genes.

Non conclusive sweat test
Hello, following a hospitalization for bronchitis with severe oxygen-dependent asthma crisis and analyzes of positive staphylo and pseudomonas in sputum, we carried out a sweat test. Unfortunately the data are not usable because not enough sweat. We have to do it again. My question is: if my daughter does not produce sweat again, what solutions do we have to establish or not for the diagnosis of CF?

Hands and feet peeled
My 4y old daughter has a great desquamation of the feet and hands in spite of a consultation with a dermatologist and given ointments. Is it due to a too important lack of vitamins? Does she lose too much salt? Perhaps it is not due to cystic fibrosis? Thank you for your reply.

Neonatal diagnostic
Hello, I would like to know to what extent a choriocentesis conducted for screening for cystic fibrosis can be reliable. Can not the sample be contaminated by the blood of the mother? Is it mandatory to wait at least for the 10th week of pregnancy to perform choriocentesis? Without counting the delay to have the results, an interrupted pregnancy, will necessarily be done by curetage? Thank you in advance.

Travel to Mali
Hello, I am very worried because my husband wishes to take our 1 year-old-daughter to Mali this summer for 1 month. Knowing that they will go to a very remote village without running water (they use water from the well) or electricity. Dad thinks he can manage while she has Tobi aerosols to do 2x a day and that the nebulizer runs on electricity. And how to keep pancreatic enzymes under sometimes 35-40 degrees? In the same way, he will not, in my opinion, be able to enrich its diet with fat or to ensure a strict hygiene because no bleach etc. In short, what risks my daughter if she leaves anyway?
