Cystic fibrosis detection by means of a test-strip

Pediatrics. 1975 Jan;55(1):35-8.

Abstract

The effectiveness of meconium screening for albumin as an indication of cystic fibrosis is examined. BM-Test Meconium was applied to 69,000 investigations. In 60 positive tests, cystic fibrosis was confirmed later. No increased albumin content was observed in four cases of cystic fibrosis.
