My son 15 was sent to take a sweat test (at a certified CF center) because he has had pneumonia 4 times in the past year. The sweat test came back positive for CF. He is pancratic sufficient. We did a genetic test to test for mutations but no mutations were found. Im not sure how many were tested for but the dr. said it was alot. We re sweat tested a second time and the sweat test was negatice for CF but in the bordeline range. (only 2 points awy from positive) The dr's are saying that he does have CF but are expecting a very mild form. Maybe a mutation that is not known. His chest xrays are showing dialated airways and his PFT's are below the range they should be. They have started him on some medications that have been helping him. My question is canyou have CF and never find the mutation?
