[Nutritional management of cystic fibrosis in children].
Children with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at risk for poor growth. A major goal in the management of CF patients is to maintain a good nutritional status as it improves long-term survival. A balanced diet, which includes adequate calories and the right vitamin and mineral supplements, is key to good nutrition and health. The authors present the improvements in management of nutrition that have occurred, particularly over the past 20 years. They also present the dietetic reccomandations for each group of age.
