This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This NIH funded research is in conjunction with the Univ. of WI - Madison. The purpose of this study is to determine risk factors for the acquisition/colonization of the respiratory tract of children with CF. The hypothesis to be tested is that exposure during clinic visits of young children with CF to older patients who are colonized with Pseudomonas significantly increases the risk of acquisition of this organism in early childhood. The expected number of subjects has been reached and enrollment was closed in March, 2001.
