Introduction: Cellular characteristics of induced sputum (IS) are not investigated in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients.
Objectives: This pilot study, conducted on 17 expectorating CF adolescents, compared sputa obtained the same day, in a stable period, by autogenic drainage (expectorating sputum, ES) and 4 h later after inhaling hypertonic saline (IS).
Results: No difference was noted concerning weight, volume, and percentage of dead cells between the two collection methods.
Post infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO) is a rare but severe disease in children. Several respiratory pathogens are incriminated but adenovirus is still the most represented. Risk factors are well described: the male gender, hypoxemia at diagnosis and required mechanical ventilation.

- A study examined the prevalence and incidence of interstitial lung disease in children (chILD) in France, finding it affects 44 children per million in 2022 and has an incidence of 4.4 per million.
- The research included data from 790 patients across 42 centers, noting that the median age for diagnosis was 3 months, with a significant portion having familial forms.
- Management typically involved oxygen therapy and corticosteroids, with survival rates being 57.3% for children diagnosed before 2 years and 86% for those diagnosed between 2 and 18 years; the study highlights the need for improved international data collection and standardized practices.
