TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the 38-country European Cystic Fibrosis Society Patient Registry (ECFSPR) to collect case data about pwCF and SARS-CoV-2 infection.

TL;DR: Patients with CF children older than eight years, carriers of a severe genotype, with a positive history of meconium ileus, were more likely predisposed to CFLD, and pancreatic insufficiency was not confirmed as risk factor, not male gender, in this study.

TL;DR: Investigation of the genotype in 32 children with cystic fibrosis from Romania showed a 25% incidence of DeltaF508 mutation and a 64.5%" incidence of unknown mutations, 5 other known mutations and 1 new mutation 1717–2(A > G).

TL;DR: Lung ultrasound is a reliable method for detection of substantial lung alterations in children with CF while for incipient bronchiectasis, CT remain superior.

TL;DR: The frequency of F508del in CF patients from Romania is higher than in previous reports, reaching 56.3%, probably owing to more rigorous selection of patients for genetic testing, allowing improved calculation of mutation frequencies.
