University of British Columbia Researcher Adds New Data to Research in Cystic Fibrosis (Short Cilia, Immunodeficiency, and Cystic Fibrosis in a Mother-Daughter Pair).

A recent report from the University of British Columbia discusses the case of a mother-daughter pair with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) that is refractory to medical management. The researchers found that the patients had features consistent with cystic fibrosis (CF), primary immunodeficiency (PID), and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). These conditions are rare and are thought to cause CRS in isolation. The study suggests that patients with refractory CRS should be further evaluated to identify alternative diagnoses and ensure proper management. [Extracted from the article]
