Özet
Kistik fibroz çocukluk yaslarında ortaya çıkan ve tüm ekzokrin bezlerin fonksiyon bozukluğu ile seyreden kalıtsal bir hastalıktır. Prematüre doğan iki aylık bebek solunum sıkıntısı ile başvurdu. Oksijen saturasyonu %80, beyaz küresi 23.000/mm3 idi. Ter testinde klor ölçümleri 88 mEq/l ve 103 mEq/l bulundu. Kistik fibrozis tanısı konuldu. Başlanan tedaviye yanıt vermeyen hastada CMV DNA pozitif saptanarak gansiklovir tedavisi başlandı. Tedaviye cevap vermeyen kistik fibrozisli olgularda altta yatan başka nedenlerin de olabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır. Klin Deney Ar Derg 2011;2(2):235-7
