Pancreatitis en la fibrosis quística: correlación con el genotipo y estado pancreático

The prevalence of pancreatitis in our CF patients was higher than that found in other CF populations, and was not limited to patients with pancreatic sufficiency. It occurred mostly in teenagers and young adults often with mild pulmonary disease. The CF genotype was variable. The course of the patients should be carefully monitored, and further information on the long-term outcome of larger cohorts of patients is needed.
