OBJECTIVES: to validate the health-related quality of life measuring instrument DISABKIDS(r) - Cystic Fibrosis Module (self version) for Brazilian children and adolescents.METHOD: methodological study in which a sample of 113 participants (54 girls and 59 boys; mean age 11.91 years and SD=2.79) was considered, from four Brazilian states, São Paulo, Paraná, Minas Gerais and the Federal District, 51 of whom participated in the pilot study and 62 in the field study. The answers to the questionnaire were analyzed, considering the frequency distributions with regard to the floor and ceiling effects, Cronbach's Alpha statistics, Pearson's Linear Correlation Coefficient, Mulitrait-Multimethod analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis according to Structural Equations Modeling.RESULTS: the instrument showed a high internal consistency coefficient (verified using Cronbach's Alpha) and construct validity, according to the Multitrait-Multimethod analysis. The DISABKIDS(r) - Cystic Fibrosis Module, self version, maintained the same factorial structure as in the originally proposed model.CONCLUSION: the instrument validation has been finished and indicates that the self version is validated for use in Brazil and can be included into the monitoring routine of this population.

The aim of this study was to evaluate prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and nasal polyps in adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) in Russian Federation. Additionally, we investigated the clinical course of CRS and developed the optimal therapeutic strategy.Methods. Three hundred and forty eight CF patients were involved in the study. Physical examination, computed tomography (CT) of paranasal sinuses and audiometry, if needed, were used. CRS and bilateral nasal polyps were diagnosed in 28 patients. Nasal endoscopy, SNOT-20 questionnaire, rhinomanometry, micro - biological examination of sputum and mucus from paranasal sinuses (obtained during puncture or surgery), spirometry, and measurement of serum markers of inflammation were used. Endoscopic sinus surgery was used in 14 patients (the group 1) and others were treated non-surgically (the group 2). Both group were treated during 6 months using intranasal mometasone, mucolytics and antibiotics via PARI SINUSTM nebulizer.Results. An improvement in symptoms, CT signs, rhinomanometry parameters and endoscopic signs was seen in both groups after treatment and was more prominent in the surgical treatment group compared to the non-surgical treatment group. Bacterial load reduction in nasal sinuses, decrease in the rate of pulmonary disease exacerbations, and an improvement in oxygen blood saturation were found in the surgical treatment group only. Treatment of CRS did not affect lung function, sputum microbiology and serum inflammatory markers.Conclusion. Endoscopic sinus surgery followed by intranasal mucolytics and antibacterials is an effective and well-tolerated treatment in adult CF patients with CRS.

Cystic fibrosis is considered to be one of the most common fatal inherited diseases. Sinonasal manifestations are not outstanding as compared with those in the lower respiratory tract. Panopacification of the paranasal sinuses is, however, almost universal on radiologic examination of patients, although many of these patients do not have sinonasal symptoms. Approximately 10% to 20% of cystic fibrosis patients will eventually require surgical treatment of their sinuses. All treatment, including surgery, is transiently effective; none is curative.

Sinusitis may be caused by bacteria, viruses, or trauma and may appear in immunosuppressive settings. Acute sinusitis is most commonly diagnosed on the basis of pain and discharge; endoscopic or fiberoptic examination may be helpful in less obvious cases. Radiography can identify maxillary, frontal, and sphenoid sinusitis; transillumination can be used if radiography is undesirable. Culture and Gram stains may help determine the appropriate antibiotic therapy. Surgery may be necessary if the frontal or sphenoid sinus is involved, or if ethmoiditis is progressing to orbital cellulitis. In chronic sinusitis, endoscopic examination and computed tomographic scanning are useful for diagnosis. Chronic sinusitis may be associated with airway disease, aspirin allergy, and such diseases as cystic fibrosis. Antibiotic therapy that acts against anaerobes and β-lactamase—producing organisms should be chosen. Surgical treatment includes intranasal and external ethmoidectomy, antrostomy, and, on occasion, obliteration of the involved cavity.

Choroidal Abscess

Pseudomonas aeruginosa choroidal abscess is a rare condition which tends to affect patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) who have undergone double lung transplantation. Various surgical treatment strategies have been described but almost universally have had a dismal prognosis. We present a case of pseudomonas choroidal abscess in a CF patient with previous double lung transplantation who was managed with medical treatment, with intravitreal and systemic antibiotics, without surgical intervention, which led to successful resolution of the choroidal abscess, preservation of the eye and retention of vision.
