Comparison of normal infants and infants with cystic fibrosis using forced expiratory flows breathing air and heliox.

abstract：:Inhaled corticosteroids are commonly used in cystic fibrosis (CF), but there are few studies evaluating their safety in young children. We, therefore, prospectively administered beclomethasone diproprionate (BDP) to 12 clinically stable young children with CF to examine the safety of this therapy with respect to adren...
