Resumen
The aim of this cross-sectional retrospective study was to describe clinical and functional characteristics and the microbiological profile of an adult population with cystic fibrosis. The study was performed at the Pulmonary Diseases Service of the Hospital of the Medical School of the State University of Campinas. The charts of 54 adults (27 males, 27 females) with cystic fibrosis were reviewed. Demographic, clinical, and microbiological data were collected. Clinical and functional characteristics of patients with chronic Pseudomonas infection were compared with those without it. The mean age of the patients was 41.8 years and the mean sweat chloride concentration was 106.4 mEq/L. Forty-nine percent had chronic respiratory symptoms only after 18 years of age, and 85% reported chronic production of purulent sputum. Six percent had diarrhea or fat in stools, and no patient suffered from diabetes mellitus. Pseudomonas was present in 48%, and 73% of them had the mucoid strain. Others agents found were Staphylococcus aureus (28%), Hemophylus sp. (34%), Aspergillus sp. (22%), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (9%), Acinetobacter sp. (7%), and Burkholderia cepacia (2%). Nontuberculous mycobacteria were found in sputum from 9 patients (11%); 34 patients (67%) had obstructive ventilatory defect; and 47% had obstruction and restriction. Concerning the groups with and without Pseudomonas colonization, only the values of sweat chloride were significantly higher in chronic colonized patients. Less severe phenotypes of cystic fibrosis may be found among patients previously diagnosed as having bronchiectasis. Chronic colonization with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in this study was not associated with worse clinical status but colonized patients did show significantly higher levels of chloride in sweat. © 2007 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc. 185 2 81 87 Bandy, V., Apicella, M.A., Mason, E., Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae in the lower respiratory tract of patients with chronic bronchitis (2001) Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 164, pp. 2114-2119 Boucher, R.C., Relationship of airway epithelial ion transport to chronic bronchitis (2004) Proc Am Thorac Soc, 1, pp. 66-70 Elborn, J.S., Shale, D.J., Britton, J.R., Cystic fibrosis: Current survival and population estimates to the year 2000 (1991) Thorax, 46, pp. 881-885 Gibson, R.L., Burns, J.L., Ramsey, B.W., Pathophysiology and management of pulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis (2003) Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 168, pp. 918-951 Hansell, D.M., Small airways diseases: Detection and insights with computed tomography (2001) Eur Respir J, 17, pp. 1294-1313 Hart, C.A., Winstanley, C., Persistent and aggressive bacteria in the lungs of cystic fibrosis children (2002) Brit Med Bull, 61, pp. 81-96 Hodson, M.E., Gallagher, C.G., Govan, J.R.W., A randomised clinical trial of nebulised tobramycin or colistin in cystic fibrosis (2002) Eur Respir J, 20, pp. 658-664 Lyczak, J.B., Cannon, C.L., Pier, G.B., Lung infections associated with cystic fibrosis (2002) Clin Microbiol Rev, 15 (2), pp. 194-222 Noone, P.G., Leigh, M.W., Sannuti, A., Primary ciliary dyskinesia: Diagnostic and phenotypic features (2004) Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 169, pp. 459-467 Pasteur, M.C., Helliwell, S.M., Houghton, S.J., An investigation into causative factors in patients with bronchiectasis (2000) J Respir Crit Care Med, 162, pp. 1277-1284 Patel, I.S., Vlahos, I., Wilkinson, T.M.A., Bronchiectasis, exacerbation indices and inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (2004) Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 170, pp. 400-407 Pauwels, R.A., Builst, A.S., Calverley, P.M.A., Jenkins, C.R., Hurd, S.S., Global strategy for the diagnosis, management and prevention of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
