“…Nonetheless, there are some differences. HOA is relatively common in carcinoma of the bronchus (about 10% of cases [IOS]), and in some other lung conditions, such as cystic fibrosis [31,32]; yet it is manifestly much less common and much less florid in cyanotic congenital heart disease. One difference could be in megakaryocyte function.…”

Abstract. The evidence is reviewed for the hypothesis that clubbing and hypertrophic osteoarthropathy are due to the peripheral impaction of megakaryocytes and platelet clumps in the fingers and toes, to which this particulate matter has passed in an axial stream. The normal pulmonary vascular bed retains these large particles, which fragment before entering the systemic circulation. A right-to-left shunt allows them to bypass the pulmonary vascular bed. A preliminary histological report of platelet clumps seen at necropsy in nail bed capillaries of clubbed fingers supports the hypothesis. Platelets contain and release platelet-derived growth factor, whose known effects could explain all the pathological changes in clubbing. In addition to explaining why clubbing should occur in cyanotic congenital heart disease, clubbing in sub-acute bacterial endocarditis and distal to infected arterial grafts and aneurysms can be understood in terms of platelet clumps breaking off valves or arterial walls, and passing distally. Clubbing in liver disease is associated with multiple small pulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses which allow large particles through. Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy probably shares the same mechanism, and is mainly attributable to PDGF release; but there may also be altered platelet function and an additional growth factor derived from the lungs.

“…Symptoms related to the joints occur in up to 12% of CF patients [53,54] and more commonly affect adults in the second decade of life. It was thought that there was no relationship between the severity of pulmonary disease and the occurrence of arthritis [53] until a recent study suggested an association with infection with P. aeruginosa and A. fumigatus [54].…”

“…It was thought that there was no relationship between the severity of pulmonary disease and the occurrence of arthritis [53] until a recent study suggested an association with infection with P. aeruginosa and A. fumigatus [54]. The most common arthropathies are episodic arthritis (EA) and hypertrophic pulmonary arthropathy (HPOA).…”

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive inherited disease of Caucasian populations. As a result of a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies there has been a dramatic increase in the life expectancy of patients with CF in the last decades and 50% of patients are now adults. This review will focus on the disease in adults and the provision of appropriate care. The complex care required to improve the survival and quality of life in the adult patients can best be provided in a dedicated adult cystic fibrosis unit. These units currently exist in many European countries, but more are needed in Italy.
