Application of quantitative PCR to the diagnosis and monitoring of Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonization in 5-18-year-old cystic fibrosis patients.   J Med Microbiol, 60: 157-61.

Early detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and early aggressive treatment are recommended to delay chronic infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The aim of this study was to assess a quantitative PCR (q-PCR) assay for the diagnosis of early P. aeruginosa colonization in 23 young CF patients (group A, age range 7-18 years) and to survey the eradication of P. aeruginosa in 10 young CF patients (group B, age range 5-18 years) after an initial antibiotic treatment. q-PCR results for ...

The adult cystic fibrosis patient with abdominal pain: what the radiologist needs to know.   Clin Radiol, 66(2): 132-9.

As the life expectancy of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients continues to increase, abdominal manifestations of CF are increasingly being encountered by clinicians and radiologists. Imaging plays an important role in the evaluation of adult CF patients with abdominal pain as a cause is often not discernable clinically. Accurate diagnosis is crucial in these patients as some causes may be managed conservatively, whilst others may require surgical intervention. In this review, we describe clinical ...
