Update on Respiratory Fungal Infections in Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease and after Lung Transplantation [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2020 Cystic fibrosis is the most common autosomal-recessive metabolic disease in the Western world. Impaired trans-membrane chloride transport via the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein causes thickened body fluids. In the respiratory system, this leads to chronic suppurative cough and recurrent pulmonary infective ...
