Abstract

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a severe hereditary disease associated with progressive impairment of respiratory organs. Pulmonary function test (PFT) in CF patients may be relevant for determination of therapy level and patient management strategy. However, PFT is particularly difficult in children aged below 6 years. Literature data concerning options for pulmonary function analysis in children aged below 6 years with CF for assessment of disease severity, progression and monitoring of treatment efficacy are provided in the article.
