- recessive CF carrier and pancreatic problems
- I am a possibly carrier of the CF-gene, the disease being present in my family. I know that mild forms of the disease may be present in CF-carriers, for example resulting in infertility (a disease also prevalent in my family). My question is the following: “Is it possible, being a carrier, not to have complaints like infertility, but presenting with decreased pancreatic function, resulting for example in loose fatty stools when eating fatrich food. Is there a lab-test to detect these forms? Or does this type of disease not exist? Testing for CF carriership is planned soon. Thanks for your answer. With kind regards

- IRT value
- Hello! Since our 3 year old son has CF (del-F508 mutation) our newborn baby (35th week of pregnancy) was screened more extensively. As a result we were told that the IRT value is unremarkable. We assumed, thus, that CF can be excluded. But sometime a sweat test is planned to be done. Wouldn’t a genetic test make more sense? Would we have to assume the same mutations? Since our older son already tasted very salty as a baby wouldn’t our baby have to taste as salty as well? Many thanks for answering.

- Disinfectants provoke resistances
- Dear expert team! I read that using disinfectants can increase the development of resistances against antibiotics (here especially regarding PSA [Pseudomonas Aeruginosa]). If the amount of disinfectant used was not sufficient to kill the bacteria the genetic material changed. Drugstores sell a lot of agents that are supposed to kill 99.9% of the bacteria (e.g. Sagrotan®). Do those kind of agents increase resistances? Which disinfectants can be recommend for a CF household. Should these disinfectants be listed by the Robert-Koch-Institute [German institute for public health]? Many thanks and best regards,
