The authors have studied the production of exoproteins by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the sputa of 18 patients suffering from cystic fibrosis, during 29 bronchopulmonary exacerbations and also after the recovery of a stable state. Significant levels of exoproteins were detected but with a large heterogenity of intra and inter individual variations. A significant decrease in the production of the three exoproteins was found after twelve days of antibiotherapy, without any correlation between exoprotein levels and colony forming units in the sputa. During the intercrisis phase, exoproteins levels were practically undetectable. These facts and the good correlation between clinical symptoms support the hypothesis of a renewal of virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa during these periods of bronchopulmonary exacerbation in cystic fibrosis.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).

D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.
