Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Patient must be diagnosed with CF and above the age of 5 years old at the moment of inclusion. - Patients will be included during a routine visit (n = 70) and can participate only once during this visit. Some patients will be included during a hospital visit because of an exacerbation or a Broncho Alveolar Lavage (BAL) visit (N = 35). This means it is possible that the same patient participates twice. One time as a routine check-up and one time (with a different study number) as an exacerbation or BAL visit. - To be able to participate, at least one breath sample is mandatory to participate. It is preferable to only include patients that are intending to participate in all elements so that all (4) categories will be well represented. (The control group will consist of patients having an elective broncho alveolar lavage, or patients with CF or conditions that increase the risk of Pseudomonas aeroginosa infection like extensie bronchiectasis, chronic lung disease will not be included). The controle group will be above the age of 5 years old.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: A patient with serious tachypnea or dyspnea, oxygen need or a patient who is physically not able to participate, will be excluded from participation in this study.
