Systematic screening for CD in a Scandinavian cohort of CF patients revealed a higher prevalence of CD than in the general population. Clinical signs of CD are difficult to differentiate from CF with malabsorption, and patients may go undiagnosed for a long time. In a population where CD is common we recommend screening for CD in patients with CF.

The CF screening program identified fewer children with a conclusive CF diagnosis than expected. Our data suggest a revision of the IRT/DNA protocol.

Our results indicate that cross-infection with P. aeruginosa between cystic fibrosis patients has occurred.

MR imaging of the paranasal sinuses can differentiate between infectious material and thickened mucosa and should be used to select CF patients with pus-filled areas that can be eradicated with FESS.
