Overview

Cystic fibrosis has to be differentiated from other conditions with similar presentation of cough and wheeze like asthma, bronchiolitis, COPD, bacterial pneumonia, emphysema, primary ciliary dyskinesia (Kartagener syndrome) and Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Differentiating cystic fibrosis from other Diseases

Differential diagnosis of cough with wheezes is :

Diseases Symptoms Signs Diagosis
Fever Cough Chest pain Wheezes Crackles Tachypnea Lab tests Imaging
Asthma - Dry/Productive - + - +
  • CT scan shows:
    • Dilated bronchi.
    • Bronchial wall thickening.
    • Air trapping.
Bronchiolitis +/- Dry - + + +/-
COPD + Productive - + + +
Bacterial pneumonia + Productive + + + +/-
Cystic Fibrosis +/- Productive +/- - - + Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) dysfunction evidenced by : X-ray :

Hyperinflation presents as:

  • Anterior bowing of the infant sternum.
  • Increased retrosternal air space.
  • Generalized pulmonary overinflation.
  • Multiple nodular densities represent mucus plugging and may present in finger-in-glove shape or as a combination of V- or Y-shaped branching and bandlike shadows.

Abdominal findings include dilated multiple loops of the small bowel are seen in neonatal meconium ileus.

Emphysema +/- Productive - + +/- + Chest X-ray reveals signs of emphysema include:
  • Increased retrosternal air space (see on lateral chest films).
  • A long narrow heart shadow.
  • Tapering vascular shadows.
  • Hyperlucency of the lungs.
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (Kartagener Syndrome) +/- Productive - + + + Chest X-ray reveals :
Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency +/- Productive - + + + Chest X-ray Alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) emphysema presents as:
  • a hyperlucent appearance because healthy tissue has been destroyed.
  • Affected regions also are described as oligemic because they lack the normal rich pattern of branching blood vessels.
  • An unusual characteristic in alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency is found in about 60% of PiZZ patients is a striking basilar distribution.
  • In contrast, cigarette smoking is associated with more severe apical disease.
