The physiological and microbiological characteristics of bronchopulmonary and intestinal tracts in children with cystic fibrosis

An important component of therapeutic measures for mucoviscidose is the determination of the functional state of the respiratory system, the fight against an opportunistic infection which accompanies the course of the chronic microbial-inflammatory process in the bronchopulmonary tract. Under conditions of reduced resistance to the child’s 9 patients (47,4 %) – fungi of the genus Candida. In 2 patients (10,5 %) Escherichia with atypical properties was found. Hemolytic E. coli were detected in one of the patients. The pathogenic enterobacteria and staphylococcus were not detected in the feces of any patient. 4 patients (21 %) were isolated because of S. coseri, C. freundii and K.pneumonia. In 2 patients (10,5 %) from the group “first diagnosed mucoviscidose” the state of the intestinal microflora was almost within the normal range. In 17 patient (89,5 %) postmedical dysbiosis was indicated. According to the results of microbiological studies, the endogenous colonization of the intestines of patients with mucoviscidose sputum has not been confirmed. One hundred percent of patients had steatorrhea; two patients had steatorrhea combined with creatorrhea.
