Grippe A (H1N1)

Over the past few weeks, many adults with cystic fibrosis in Quebec have asked the Adult CF Committee of Quebec (ACFCQ) for information on influenza A (H1N1). We collected the questions and submitted them to internationally known infectious disease specialist and microbiologist Dr. Cécile Tremblay, who is also the Director of University of Montreal’s UHRESS (Unité hospitalière de recherche, d'enseignement et de soins sur le sida), asking if she would help adults with cystic fibrosis in Quebec and their caregivers understand the issues related to influenza A (H1N1). We would like to thank Dr. Tremblay on behalf of the ACFCQ for having generously agreed to our request. We would like to specify that this document was produced on October 14, 2009.

Discussion forum
If you have any questions, concerns or thoughts about cystic fibrosis and would like to share them with adults in the same situation, remember there’s strength in numbers.
The discussion forum is for everyone who is directly or indirectly affected by cystic fibrosis. Our ever growing membership is a sure sign that this forum meets a very real need.
In addition, the forum is user-friendly, making it accessible to all.
You can access it by clicking on the “Forum” link at the top of the page or on the following link: http://www.cpafk.royaume.com
Please note that the discussion forum is available in French only.
Poster (Socio-economic profile)
In 2003, the Adult Cystic Fibrosis Committee of Quebec conducted a study to map out the socio-economic profile of the adult cystic fibrosis population of Quebec.
You can view some of the study’s findings on the poster presented at the 27th European Cystic Fibrosis Conference held in Birmingham, UK, in 2004. Click here.
