Sequential analysis of surfactant, lung function and inflammation in cystic fibrosis patients

BACKGROUND: In a cross-sectional analysis of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with mild lung disease, reduced surfactant activity was correlated to increased neutrophilic airway inflammation, but not to lung function. So far, longitudinal measurements of surfactant function in CF patients are lacking a...
