<p>We have jointly weighed up the extent to which an early diagnosis is always an advantage, as some parents perceive an early diagnosis as an additional burden and would prefer to experience the first years of their child's life without constant medical intervention. Especially when there are cases in which patients only show a clear clinical picture at an advanced age. The psychological burden also lies with the children, who often experience medical trauma because they are involved in such intensive medical care from birth. Additionally, the treatment of cystic fibrosis is very expensive, and the costs are covered by health insurance companies to varying degrees. In some countries, such as the USA, Ukraine or Developing countries, many families cannot afford the necessary treatments. Dr Olariu drew our attention to another problem in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. Infections, especially with bacteria such as Pseudomonas spcc., are difficult to treat and often lead to long hospital stays. Max, our patients’ representative, who knows Dr. Olariu through his treatment, talked about his infections with Pseudomonas spcc., illustrating the reality of an invisible danger that determines a patient's everyday life. Strict hygiene measures are required to prevent infections, such as wearing face masks in hospital and careful handling of potential sources of infection. The clinics where cystic fibrosis patients are treated work closely with a multidisciplinary team of doctors, psychologists, physiotherapists and nutritionists to ensure that patients receive holistic care. At the same time, research is constantly being carried out and new therapeutic approaches developed, such as the use of nanoparticles to improve drug delivery. Former patients are also involved in research and provide valuable insights and advances. </p>,

implementation:"In summary, our project greatly benefited from the conversation with Dr. Olariu. His insights into the complexities of cystic fibrosis treatment, particularly the significance of early diagnosis, were invaluable. Max’s personal experiences added a crucial human perspective, illustrating the medical and psychological challenges he faces, including infections with Pseudomonas spp. Dr. Olariu emphasized the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, involving not just medical professionals but also psychologists, physiotherapists, and nutritionists for holistic care. This discussion helped us appreciate the balance between timely interventions and the emotional burden on patients and their families, guiding us to develop a more empathetic understanding of living with cystic fibrosis.
