This observational study aims to learn about the conditions or factors that may lead to Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) infections in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). The information collected will aid in understanding what happens to children with CF with regard to their treatment and health after Pa infection occurs. Children whose cultures become positive for Pa while in the observational study may have the option of taking part in a separate treatment study known as the Early Pseudomonas Infection Control (EPIC) Clinical Trial, while participation in the observational study continues. About 1,700 children with CF will take part in this study in approximately 60 CF clinics across the country. Sixty of them will be from Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC.
Boys and girls with CF up to 12 years of age. Boys: Up to 12 years Girls: Up to 12 years
Participation in the study will include recording information from clinic visits, collection of a throat culture, and a yearly blood draw. Visits: 4 per year Duration: 2.5 to 5 years
