Living with cystic fibrosis: challenges and advances
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a difficult disease to live with but management is greatly improving thanks to recent medical advances.
CF is an inherited genetic condition that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 people in the United States. A genetic defect causes the body to produce mucous that is thick and sticky rather than loose and watery. Instead of sweeping out bacteria from the lungs, it can clog the lungs and lead to life-threatening infections, progressive lung damage and difficulty breathing. The mucus also blocks the pancreas, which prevents natural enzymes from breaking down and absorbing food.
