Cystic Fibrosis + Bronchiectasis + Bronchiolitis Flashcards
Cystic fibrosis
Etiology
*CFTR gene (Cl- transport, in all epithelial)
Delta F508
*auto recessive (both parents must be carrier)
*white (most common auto-recessive disease among) (ireland/n. europe)
*Thick mucus in lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines
*failure to thrive
*Respiratory s/s OBSTRUCTIVE: bronchitis, bronchiolitis, Pneumonia
*Meconium ileus
*abnormal stools
*nfertility
*pancreatic insufficiency –>steatorrhea, DAEK def
OLDER: nasal polyps, rectal prolapse
Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis
Path
Low Airway Surface Liquid (ASL) hypothesis
*Mutated CFTR = Cl- can’t get into airway –> + net charge –> Na+ back into cell (ENaC) –> water follows Na into cell
- HYPERVISCOUS MUCOUS
- ALL EXOCRINE GLANDS
Cystic fibrosis
Pulm effects
BRONCHIECTASIS Pneumonia *Pseudomonas/Staph Bronchitis Bronchiolitis Nasal polyps Chronic hypoxia
Child w/ rectal prolapse?
Cystic fibrosis
Child w/ pancreatitis?
Cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis
GI effects
Meconium ileus Meconium plug Rectal prolapse Pancreatitis Steatorrhea
Cystic fibrosis
General Effects
- Failure to thrive
- Vitamin deficiency (lipase deficiency)
- Infertility (CBAVD) - crhonic bilateral absence of vas deferens)
Cystic Fibrosis
Dx
- newborn screening
- Sweat Cl test
- sibling dx w/ CF
- suggestive Hx
*Mutation analysis
*Nasal test
*CXR = bronchiectasis
USUALLY DURING INPATIENT
Cystic Fibrosis
Referring
*CF specialist referral
Managing:
- pulm dz
- acute exacerbations
- CF-related Diabetes (pancreatic destruction) = supplementation
- Complications
Cystic Fibrosis
Pulm Dz tx
- Chest physiotherapy (hitting at home by parents)
- mucolytics = n-acetylcystein (mucomyst= dissolves mucus); Dornase alpha (Pulmozyme = DNAs)
- bronchodilators
- anti inflammatories (NO in kids 2-5)
- antibios
- CFTR Potentiator/Corrector = Ivacraftor (G551D, NO F508 = need Lumacaftor)
Cystic Fibroisis
Tx = Acute exacerbation MRSA
Vanc
OR
Linezolid
Cystic Fibroisis
Tx = Acute exacerbation
Pseudomonas
Severe = IV tobramycin + piperacillin
Cystic Fibroisis
Tx = Acute exacerbation
Pseudomonas
Tobramycin (inhaled) + Ceftazidime
Cystic Fibroisis
Tx = CF Diabetes
- > 30 y/o
- insulin
- pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy
