✦ Synopsis

pH of the sweat from patients with cystic fibrosis and in controls was measured as a function of the sweat-rate using a fluorescence-pH-indicator (umbelliferone). In both populations sweat is acid at low sweat-rates and alkaline at high ones. The results do not favour an abnormality of the ductal H+-secretion as the pathomechanism of cystic fibrosis.

The hypothesis by Doggett and Harrison, according to which alpha-amylase is the pathogenic factor of the exocrinopathy in cystic fibrosis (C.F.), is investigated. No elevation of alpha-amylase in sweat and serum of C.F. patients, as compared with controls of similar age, is observed. It is concluded

The majority of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) will grow into adulthood. Despite this improvement in survival, the disease is progressive, especially with respect to the decline in pulmonary function, which in turn may have an impact on a patient's quality of life. In this study we evaluated the
