| Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of cystic fibrosis (CF) in patients with recurrent pulmonary infection, chronic diarrhea and failure to thrive having no specific diagnosis and also to investigate the demographic features, and clinic and laboratory findings of such patients.Materials and Methods: The diagnosis of CF has been established through measuring the sweat conductivity in children presenting with one or more characteristic phenotypic features of CF. A chloride concentration lower than 59 mmol/l was interpreted as negative; 60-79 as borderline and over 80 as positive. A borderline sweat test result supported with genetic mutation, nasal potential difference or elastase activity was diagnosed as atypical CF.Results: A total of 356 patients fulfilled the study criteria. Twenty (5.6%) patients were diagnosed as CF. The mean age of the patients was 19.3±18.1 months and 234 (65.7 … |
