Abstract
Infectivity of certain enteric viruses including rotavirus is profoundly affected by proteolytic enzymes. To test whether cystic fibrosis patients, possessing chronically decreased levels of pancreatic enzymes, show altered susceptibility to gastroenteritis viruses, we examined sera from patients and controls for antibodies to two major pathogens. In cystic fibrosis patients, normal rotavirus antibody levels were found and Norwalk virus antibody prevalence was unchanged.

Mutation analysis was performed on 42 unrelated Israeli Arab CF patients. The previously known mutations in this population, β βF508, N1303K, G542X, 4010delTATT, and S549R(T>G), were identified in 57 CF alleles, leaving 28 CF alleles with unknown mutations. Screening of the coding sequence of the CF
