Clinical features associated with pulmonary exacerbation diagnosis in infants and young children with cystic fibrosis.

The presence of a wet or night-time cough and longer symptom duration are common features of PEx in VY-PwCF, whereas symptoms suggestive of upper respiratory viral infection are not. Our results will be helpful in counseling families of VY-PwCF in the signs and symptoms of PEx and in planning future research in PEx in this age group.
