Popis: Multiorgan involvement in cystic fibrosis (CF), including chronic airway infection with pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is a critical risk factor in patients with malignancy during aggressive immunosuppressive therapy, and was therefore formerly associated with high mortality rates. A 10 year old boy with CF and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) underwent induction and reinduction treatment without severe infectious complications whereas lung function improved.
