title: [Rhinitis in patients with cystic fibrosis].
abstract: The author presents material of 110 cystic fibrosis patients, 81 with typical clinical features and 29 with atypical phenotype. Based on clinical examination and nasal cytological smears infective chronic nonspecific rhinitis (n = 80), infective acute rhinitis (n = 16), perennial allergic rhinitis (n = 4), nonalergic rhinitis with eosinophilia (n = 2), and moreover 19 patients with nasal polyposis, and 8 patients without nasal symptoms were distinguished. Infective chronic nonspecific rhinitis and infective acute rhinitis were present in typical and atypical cystic fibrosis patients with similar frequency but in patients with atypical phenotype perennial allergic rhinitis and nonalergic rhinitis with eosinophilia were observed more frequently. Nasal polyposis was associated with typical cystic fibrosis phenotype, and with two "severe" mutations.
