Abstract

A review is presented of key clinical papers published in Thorax and elsewhere between 2008 and April 2011 which have advanced our understanding of cystic fibrosis (CF), primary ciliary dyskinesia and non-CF bronchiectasis. Studies were identified through searches of the Thorax archive and the Medline database. Within the field of CF, the following key themes were studied: diagnosis in equivocal CF, assessment of CF lung disease, novel therapies addressing the basic defect in CF, maintenance pulmonary therapies, management of early Pseudomonas infection, the microbiology of CF lung disease, renal impairment in CF and controversies in lung transplantation in CF.
