- Prolapse of the rectal mucosa
- Hello, my daughter is 6 weeks old and as I recently gave her for the first time a suppository, a slight prolapse of the rectal mucosa occurred due to the fact that she was pressing against it. Now I observed it another time during emptying the bowels. There are always only a few mililmeters, that prolapse and after emptying the bowels the mucosa retracts always immediately. Can this already be a hint for CF?

- At what timepoing oyxgen prescribable?
- Hello to the answering team, I suffer from CF and want to know, at what timepoint extra oxygen has to be given respectively can be prescribed. The question arises as I have still normal values however at the moment quite strong dyspnea when walking and at slight physical activity. Drugs are at the moment not a real help, either. Can oxygen already be given here? Is also the subjective feeling an indication for the administration of oxygen? This is often like this in my case. Because the "severe" things (diabetes, for example) had in my case also a lead time for some years until they became evident. Many thanks for the answer

- Kitten (baby cat)
- Hello, we will adopt a kitten within 1 week, the veterinarian said to the current owners of the kittens that since the children had played with them and they might have got worms it was also necessary to treat the kids! Should I do it? Is there no risk for my 5-year-old CF son? What is the most appropriate product? Thank you in advance for your response.

- Staphylococcus aureus
- Hello, We got to know one month after the birth of our now 3-months-old daughter that she was suffering from CF. She carries the DF508 and G3272-26A mutations. She is followed every month at the CF Center. She has every day respiratory physiotherapy and is until now pancreatic sufficient. My question is, we just got to know that she already has Staphylococcus aureus, she was therefore treated wiht amoxicillin and clavulanic acid for 15 days + respiratory therapy sessions two times a day to help evacuate because she has a sort of bronchitis with green sputum ... Will she be colonized by Staphylococcus aureus all the life or is it possible that there is no trace any more at the next visit, is it possible to eradicate it? The pulmonologist was very evasive about it. I do not understand how this bacterium works. Does this Staphylococcus make the disease develop faster (bronchi and lungs damaged)? Isn’t it too early to be colonized by this bacteria at 3 months ?? We're a little clueless ... Thanking you, Sincerely,

- Henhouse
- Hello, our neighbors would want to make a henhouse behind our home: It will be neither close to the house, nor close to our ground. I don’t know how much hens there will be, there will be no straw. They asked us if it was dangerous for our CF little boy even if he does not approach it, at the level of germs and feathers? Thank you in advance for your answer

- Nebulization in an infant
- Hello, I have a 7-month-old infant with CF. I would like to know if I can start hypertonic saline nebulizations to prevent the dehydratation of its mucus, of course with respect to the device disinfection rules. Do you think that it could be efficient to delay pulmonary infections?

- Swimming pool
- I have a question about the warmth of pool water. I'm not allowed to go to Center Parks because the water is too hot. In Knokke-Heist a new swimming pool has opened. The water in the pool is 30° C. Is it healthy to swim in the pool or should I stay out of it?

- Desire to have children
- Dear Sir, dear Madam, I am an 18-year-old woman. My boyfriend is almost 18 and has CF. He takes medication but has little to no complaints. We are professionally and financially both doing well and we would like to have a baby. I have two questions: I know that the chance to get pregnant naturally is rather small, but is it totally unthinkable? Or are there cases known where couples get pregnant naturally even when the man has CF? And also, sorry for bothering you with another question, from what age can you start with an IVF treatment? When my boyfriend is 18 soon, and we are both above 18, can we start IVF, then? Thank you very much in advance for you answer.

- CF test for only one parent
- Hello, I would like to know the impact on my 5-year and 6-months-old daughter’s health who was F508del homozygous diagnosed in 2011. Regarding that only her mother has made genetic testing (her father did not wish to do), could you give me some information about it and whether it will affect future treatment following the research? Thank you for answering. Regards.

- Pandoraea sputorum
- Hello, A little time ago, the sputum culture that was made during a quarterly visit revealed that my 13-year-old son was carrying the Pandoraea sputorum. A cure has been quickly programmed. Can you tell me what are the places that bear a risk of contamination with the germ? Thank you for your answer.
