Longitudinal Pathogen-colonization in Cystic Fibrosis Airways and Ability to Smell

October 24, 2016 updated by: PD Dr. Jochen G. Mainz, University of Jena

Prevalence of Chronic Rhinosinusitis, Pathogen-colonization in the Upper and Lower Airways and Ability to Smell in Cystic Fibrosis

Aim of the study is to detect the prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis, pathogen colonization of the lower and upper airways and, in a sub-cohort the sense of smelling in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The sub-study on the sense of smelling in CF has been finalized in the meantime. Results were published in 2012:
