Sputum and Plasma Neutrophil Elastase in Stable Adult Patients With Cystic Fibrosis in Relation to Chronic Pseudomonas Aeruginosa Colonization

Background and purpose Neutrophil elastase (NE) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of airway inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and it impairs defenses against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection or colonization.
