cystic fibrosis
An inherited disease that affects the lungs, digestive system, sweat glands, and male fertility. The name derives from the fibrous scar tissue that develops in the pancreas, one of the primary organs it affects. The disease affects the body’s ability to move salt and water in and out of cells, which causes the lungs and pancreas to secrete abnormally thick mucus that blocks passageways and prevents proper function. Children with cystic fibrosis develop a predisposition to bacterial infections.
