C-reactive protein in acute pulmonary exacerbations of patients with cystic fibrosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Multiple breath washout (MBW) in infants presents a number of technical challenges. Conventional MBW is based on simultaneous measurement of flow and gas concentrations. These two signals are aligned and combined to derive expired gas volumes from which lung volumes and measures of ventilation inhomogeneity ...
