Lung function is permanently limited. I have about three pneumonias per year in addition to several other infections. One ...

- Wind instrument
- Our 5 year old child would like to learn a wind instrument. Is it good or bad for a CF patient to play a wind instrument with regards to the pressure on the lungs, etc.? And would it be better to use a plastic flute instead of a wooden flute since wood does not dry that quickly with regard to the ...

- Follow-up question: growth and lung function
- Dear Dr. Posselt, Many thanks for your answer, to which I have a further question. This is indeed about structural changes; you write that “lung tissue has a very low regenerative ability.” This could be positive during growth, though: the scar tissue does not grow, but the lungs as a ...

- Growth and lung function
- Dear experts, with our daughter (7, CF), there could be seen some "changed areas" in the HRCT (high resolution CT). Is it possible, that due to the growth of the lung the relative part of these areas decreases, so that the lung can "grow healthy" in part? Or can one assume that "healthy" and ...
