Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) airway disease is characterized by chronic infection and neutrophil-driven inflammation, leading to progressive airway damage and early mortality. Infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa significantly impacts morbidity and mortality, requiring early detection and aggressive antibiotic treatment. Controlling inflammation remains difficult due to the limited availability of effective anti-inflammatory treatments. CFTR modulators show potential in reducing inflammation, but further research is needed. Effective management of CF lung disease requires a comprehensive approach addressing both infection and inflammation.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Pulmonology (PPUL) is the foremost global journal studying the respiratory system in disease and in health as it develops from intrauterine life though adolescence to adulthood. Combining explicit and informative analysis of clinical as well as basic scientific research, PPUL provides a look at the many facets of respiratory system disorders in infants and children, ranging from pathological anatomy, developmental issues, and pathophysiology to infectious disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and airborne toxins. Focused attention is given to the reporting of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neonates, preschool children, and adolescents, the enduring effects of childhood respiratory diseases, and newly described infectious diseases.
PPUL concentrates on subject matters of crucial interest to specialists preparing for the Pediatric Subspecialty Examinations in the United States and other countries. With its attentive coverage and extensive clinical data, this journal is a principle source for pediatricians in practice and in training and a must have for all pediatric pulmonologists.
