Özet

© Copyright 2016 by Türkiye Klinikleri.Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent pulmonary infections, fat malabsorption and growth retardation. The patients are generally treated pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) and enteral nutrition support. Optimal growth could not achieved in some patients despite the adequate treatment.
