Brief Summary

Respiratory Viral Infections (RVI) are particularly frequent in young children. Old data mention the deleterious role of some viruses such as the Respiratory Syncytial Virus in young children with cystic fibrosis (CF). However, recent epidemiological data on RVI in CF children are rare and the impact of most frequent viruses such as human rhinoviruses is usually not correctly evaluated.

The aim of this study is to assess the frequency of lower and upper RVI during a 1 year follow-up in CF infants and to evaluate the impact of RVI at a clinical, microbiological and therapeutic level.

Our hypothesis is that frequent and/or clinically severe RVIs have the worst impact in the short term and without any particular link with a specific virus as previously described.
