Safety and use of sputum induction in children with cystic fibrosis.

abstract：:Most pneumatoceles disappear spontaneously and do not cause severe symptoms. Treatment alternatives include various conventional or surgical methods. However, an enlarging, complicated pneumatocele with cardiorespiratory instability requires imaging-guided catheter drainage or surgery. Here, we report the case of a ne...
