A 16-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital because of coughing, sputum, and exertional dyspnea. Seven months after birth cystic fibrosis had been diagnosed. The chest roentgenogram on admission showed diffuse reticulonodular shadows and overinflation. Pulmonary function tests revealed obstructive and restrictive impairment. Erythromycin and Lomefloxacin were administered by mouth, and aminoglycosides were administered by inhalation. His symptoms were alleviated, and he is now an outpatient. In Japan, cystic fibrosis is rare, and this patient is extremely rare because he has grown up to be a 16-year-old. In this case, low-dose and long-term erythromycin administration was very effective.
一名16岁男孩因咳嗽、咳痰和劳力性呼吸困难入院。出生7个月后被诊断出患有囊性纤维化。入院时胸部X线片显示弥漫性网状结节影和肺过度充气。肺功能测试显示阻塞性和限制性损害。口服红霉素和洛美沙星，并吸入氨基糖苷类药物。他的症状得到缓解，现在是门诊病人。在日本，囊性纤维化很罕见，而这名患者极为罕见，因为他已长到16岁。在这种情况下，低剂量长期服用红霉素非常有效。
