RESUMO
The hypothesis by Doggett and Harrison, according to which alpha-amylase is the pathogenic factor of the exocrinopathy in cystic fibrosis (C.F.), is investigated. No elevation of alpha-amylase in sweat and serum of C.F. patients, as compared with controls of similar age, is observed. It is concluded that the "C.F. factor" cannot be identified with alpha-amylase.
