[Nutritional management of cystic fibrosis in children].
A major goal in the management of cystic fibrosis patients is to maintain a good nutritional status as it improves long-term survival. A link is clearly established between the degree of malnutrition and the severity of the disease. Clinical and biological follow-up, better knowledge of energy requirements, dietary counseling and nutritional intervention help to optimize the growth of these patients through childhood and adolescence.
