Many countries have introduced newborn screening for cystic fibrosis to facilitate diagnosis prior to the development of lung disease. Although most infants with cystic fibrosis are asymptomatic from a respiratory point of view at diagnosis, structural lung disease has been detected by computed tomography. We present a case of an asymptomatic infant with cystic fibrosis diagnosed following newborn screening who had endobronchial infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and radiological evidence of bronchiectasis at 3 months of age.
许多国家已开展囊性纤维化新生儿筛查,以便在肺部疾病发展之前促进诊断。尽管大多数囊性纤维化婴儿在诊断时从呼吸系统角度无症状,但通过计算机断层扫描已检测到结构性肺部疾病。我们报告一例在新生儿筛查后被诊断为囊性纤维化的无症状婴儿病例,该婴儿在3个月大时发生了铜绿假单胞菌支气管内感染并有支气管扩张的影像学证据。
