Cystic Fibrosis Lung
Conditions
Brief summary
The main objective of the project MucoFong (19021906 national french program n which Vaincre La Mucoviscidose participated: N82006/ 351) was to determine the fungi present the respiratory tract of CF patients responsible for either colonization or authentic infectious diseases. The Mucofong data allowed the team to provide for the 1st time national French guidelines for the management of CF sputum mycological analysis (MucoMicrobes work group coordinated by Prof. Plésiat published in 2015 in the REMIC book). Nevertheless, the team has a comprehensive database that it still has to analyze beyond these initial results. The main goal today is to clarify the role of fungi in the lung function degradation of these patients by studying the overall risk and estimated impact of fungal colonization in our cohort.
Detailed description
The material includes data from the followup of the 300 patients (3 visits per patient for which the team collected and verified the biological radiological and clinical data). Relations between Aspergillus fumigatus or Candida albicans and lung function or clinical outcome of patients will be longitudinally analyzed taking as output variable FEV1, according to bibliography data available. To assess the attributed fungal risk, the team will focus on the 57 patients de novo colonized by fungi at the second visit. Three physician experts will determine the impact of such fungal colonization on the patient clinical and respiratory parameters. The expert conclusion concordance and statistical significance will be evaluated using the kappa score. This project will be realized in collaboration with the groups of Prof. R. Thiebaut (Methodology and Epidemiology Service Bordeaux University Hospital, INSERM U1219 / INRIA SISTM) and Prof. M. Fayon (Department of Pediatrics, Pediatric reference centre) University Hospital of Bordeaux.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Describe the micromycetes find in lung in patients with cystic fibrosis | Day 1 | Relation between the micromycetes and the pathologic lung in patients with cystic fibrosis |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of patient with a. fumigatus, c. albicans or other micromycete | Day 1 | Establish the proportion of patients of a colonization in a. fumigatus, in c. albicans or other micromycete, carriers from awareness of a. fumigatus (unlike an ABPA) |
| Detect, from data of high-throughput sequencing, combinations of bacteria or fungi are present and clear profile of affinity between genres, in patients with cystic fibrosis. | Day 1 | Detect, from data of high-throughput sequencing, combinations of bacteria or fungi are present and clear profile of affinity between genres, in patients with cystic fibrosis |
