Evolution of pulmonary inflammation and nutritional status in infants and young children with cystic fibrosis

Improved nutrition is the major proven benefit of newborn screening programmes for cystic fibrosis (CF) and is associated with better clinical outcomes.

Inflammatory responses to individual microorganisms in the lungs of children with cystic fibrosis
