A new technique of measuring stool enzyme activity on dry specimens of faeces from newborn children at 4-5 days of age has detected 3 cases of cystic fibrosis in the first 6000 tests. No known cases of cystic fibrosis have been missed. Additionally, one case of pancreatic achylia of at least 4 months' duration has been detected. It is proposed that the detection of cystic fibrosis by this technique is sufficiently practical to be acceptable as a worthwhile newborn screening programme. The screening test has been in use in Auckland for over a year and is now being set up in Hamilton, Wellington, and Dunedin (New Zealand), and Sydney (Australia).
一种用于检测4至5日龄新生儿粪便干标本中粪便酶活性的新技术，在前6000次检测中发现了3例囊性纤维化病例。没有漏诊已知的囊性纤维化病例。此外，还检测出1例病程至少4个月的胰腺无酸症病例。有人提出，用这种技术检测囊性纤维化足够实用，可作为一项有价值的新生儿筛查项目被接受。这项筛查试验在奥克兰已经使用了一年多，目前正在汉密尔顿、惠灵顿和但尼丁（新西兰）以及悉尼（澳大利亚）开展。
