- Augmentin® dosage
- Dear expert team! I would like to know, if there is a general guideline for the dosage of Augmentin® tablets 1 g? I know however, that the antibiotic drugs in case of CF are always given in higher dosages, is there however a general guideline on this? Would you say, that 5 tablets of these 1 g tablets per day in case of a body weight of about 48 kg for the duration of 14 days are not a bit too high? Many thanks in advance Best regards, I.D.

- Autohemotherapy
- Dear expert team, I am a female CF patient (adult age over 40). Does an autohemotherapy help to minimize infections? I have read that the own blood is regarded as "foreign" by the body after the stay outside the body and so an immunoreaction of the body is initiated respectively its own immune defense ist stimulated. Some patients report however, about good experiences with this therapy. However now I do not know, if it could help in CF patients. Best regards,

- FEV1
- Hello, I am a 46-year-old CF woman and my FEV1 has decreased after a pneumonia, that has been treated for 4 weeks with an i.v. cure because of Pseudomonas, about half of the value from 52% to 28% and I still need oxygen, two months after discharge from the hospital, in spite of the fact the physician tells me, the CT would not look bad. It is not clear to me, how this could happen so fast. What happens to the lung? How can I now work-up the FEV1 again and how do I get away from the oxygen? Many thanks for your efforts, best regards, S.

- Stagnant water?
- Dear expert team, the grandparents of our daughter (2.5 years old, CF) spend their summer holiday every year at the Lake Constance. This year they would like to invite our daughter to go with them there. They both want to calm our worries concernig swimming lake and Pseudmonas danger with the argument the Lake Constance would not be a stagnant water. We would therefore like to ask you about your judgment concerning possible dangers from humid germs in and around the Lake Constance! Many thanks for your help!

- Few elastase in the stool
- Hello, In my son (4 years old), very few elastase could be found in the stool and four sweat tests had already been done (in two different CF-centers), all positive. On the other hand, the genetic testing was negative. Can it be that he has "only" problems with the pancreas? The physicians do different test to him for two years, however a diagnosis could not be made, yet. Many thanks for your answer

- Does the place of residence influence the course of the CF?
- Dear expert team, I ask myself, if the place of residence influences the course of the CF? That means concretely, if CF patients should prefer a residence next to the sea and if those who live in the up-country have a disadvantage due to the air there? Are there any studies on this topic? Is the quality of life and the life expectancy better/higher in the CF centers near the coast compared to the centers in middle and south of Germany? Thank you!

- CF and airing of the house, house building
- We have the possibility in our new house to use the air that has been cooled down in earth wires as airing for the rooms and air-conditioning. As our daughter is a CF patient, we ask ourselves if in the wires Pseudomonas aeruginosa could grow and can distribute via the air-conditioning in the house. Here, it deals with a controlled air-conditioning / room-airing like in a passive house. We ask for help in making a decision. Best regards, family L.

- Lung after DLTX (double-lung transplantation)
- Dear expert team, in case a CF patient has had a lung transplantation, is and stays the lung "free of CF" then? That means: does it not congest with mucus anymore? Or does one have to go on with physiotherapy and inhale mucolytic drugs? Many thanks!

- Strongly increased fat excretion of our son (4y)
- Dear expert team, in the frame of two stool fat collections an increased excretion of fat (up to 45%) has been diagnosed. More than one year ago, this value was however much lower. We ask ourselves, if such a deterioration is "normal". Our son "chews" the Kreon always 2-3 times, before he swallows it. Can this be a problem? Which consequences may such a high fat value have? We would be very happy about answers to our questions. Best regards, M.
