Immediate skin hypersensitivity to various inhalant allergens was present in 59% of 123 children with cystic fibrosis (CF), a much higher percentage than in the general population. This is consistent with the idea that atopy arises as a result of impaired handling of antigen at mucosal surfaces. The allergic CF children had more chest infections, a worse chest x-ray appearance, and lower peak expiratory flow rates. Allergic diseases were also frequent in the CF obligate heterozygotes (32% of mothers and 26% of fathers). It is suggested that the heterozygotes may also have a mucosal abnormality resulting in defective antigen handling.
123名囊性纤维化(CF)患儿中,59%对多种吸入性过敏原存在即刻皮肤超敏反应,这一比例远高于普通人群。这与特应性是由于黏膜表面对抗原处理受损而产生的观点一致。患过敏性疾病的CF患儿有更多的胸部感染、胸部X光表现更差且呼气峰值流速更低。CF基因携带者(母亲中的32%和父亲中的26%)也常有过敏性疾病。研究表明,基因携带者可能也存在黏膜异常,导致对抗原的处理存在缺陷。
