The first manifestation of CF is sometimes meconium ileus, occuring in 16% of infants who develop CF. [1]
Other symptoms of CF usually develop during early childhood. Both lungs and pancreas produce abnormally viscous mucus. This mucus begins to build up and starts to clog the opening to the pancreas and the lungs. The mucus in the lungs can become a growth medium for bacteria, resulting in chronic respiratory infections and eventual permanent damage to the lung tissue. A chronic and loose sounding cough is common in people with CF. These thick secretions also obstruct the pancreas, preventing digestive enzymes from reaching the intestines to help break down and absorb food. Frequent and foul smelling stools are often an early sign of CF along with fatty oil that is visible in the stool. This can compromise growth and overall nutrition if proper treatment to aid digestion is not utilized early in life. As lung function deteriorates, CF patients can develop pulmonary hypertension and eventually cor pulmonale. Death usually occurs from severe infection, pneumonia, or heart failure.
The disease can be diagnosed by symptoms such as a high salt concentration in a baby's sweat (via sweat test) or by genetic testing. Prior to genetic testing, a sweat test was the gold standard for diagnosis of CF. The disease can also be diagnosed prenatally through chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis. -->
