Monitoring early inflammation in CF. Infant pulmonary function testing

Jack K Sharp. Clin Rev Allergy Immunol. 2002 Aug.

Abstract

Infant pulmonary function tests (iPFTs) have primarily been used as research tools to further define physiologic pulmonary abnormalities in infants and young children with cystic fibrosis (CF). Methodologies used to measure pulmonary function in infants are described, with particular relevance to CF. A comprehensive review of studies and findings in CF infants using iPFTs is presented. Further goals in improving methodologies and in defining pulmonary disease in CF are presented.
