Evan, an 8 month old boy has been brought to the ED. His parents state Evan has been SOB, with an increased wheezy cough. His nasal secretions are thick, and mucousy and he appears to have a productive cough, thick mucousy phlegm, lung sounds are wheezy bilaterally. His parents also report that he seems to have an ongoing sinus infection and cough that never seems to clear up despite antibiotics and nebulizers. Mom states Evan is a good eater but does not seem to thrive. She states his bowel movements are daily but really almost slimy and foul most of the time and wonders if he has allergies that they have missed somehow. The ED physician has examined Evan and has ordered some labs to evaluate Evan for Cystic Fibrosis. The physician has ordered: an IRT, (Immunoreactive trypsinogen), A sweat test, a chest xray, and genetic testing for CF. The parents state they are new to the area and have not established care with a pediatrician. Both deny family history of CF.
