ANS: B
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is characterized by frequent, severe respiratory infections, often caused by Pseudomonas, which is treated with tobramycin (TOBI) or azithromycin (Zithromax). Preventing respiratory infections is a crucial part of caring for the child with CF. Reproduction is often affected in people with CF, but without testing, it is impossible to say that the child is sterile. Vitamin replacement is needed along with pancreatic enzyme replacement.
