- Question
- Please advise wich clinic is more performant for diagnosis, treatment and monitorisation of this disease, for a 6 months old infant in Europe. Thank you
- Answer
- Hello,
Cystic fibrosis is a disease characterized by a series of symptoms and clinical signs, respiratory and / or digestive, which can be diagnosed by sweat test. In some cases, so-called atypical forms, sweat test may be negative or borderline and genetic test could help for diagnosis.
In Europe, every country has, like in Romania, a network of specialized centers for the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of cystic fibrosis. If we can help you more specificaly, please come back,
