✦ Synopsis

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 that the "C.F. factor" cannot be identified with alpha-amylase.

46 sweat-samples from 32 children with cystic fibrosis of the pancreas (C.F.) and 35 samples from 23 control-children were collected with glass micro-capillaries. Protein was determined by ultramicro-electrophoresis. ## Results: 1. protein was detected in 48% of the samples (c.f. and controls). 2.

Our objective was to determine the in vitro activity of minocycline against isolates of Burkholderia cepacia (BC), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (SM), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) cultured from the respiratory tract of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Cultures of BC, SM, and PA were isolated in

The suggested incidence of cystic fibrosis (CF) in Asian migrants (Indians and Pakistanis) in the United Kingdom is about 1 in 10,000 to 12,000 [Goodchild et al., 1974]. There are no large studies on CF in Asian Indians. The disorder is thought to be rare and most studies from the Asian subcontinent
