Cystic fibrosis, abbreviated CF, a genetic disease that predominantly affects the lungs. It is inherited autosomal recessive.
Gene
- CFTR gene.[1]
Clinical features
Mnemonic CF PANCREAS:[2]
- Chronic cough.
- Failure to thrive.
- Pancreatic insufficiency, e.g. steatorrhea.
- Alkalosis.
- Nasal polyps & neonatal intestinal obstruction (meconium ileus).
- Clubbing & chest x-ray findings.
- Rectal prolapse.
- Electrolyte elevations in sweat.
- Absence of vas deferens.
- Sputum with Pseudomonas.
Trimmed version
- PAncreatic insufficiency, e.g. steatorrhea.
- Nasal polyps & neonatal intestinal obstruction (meconium ileus).
- Clubbing.
- REctal prolapse.
- Absence of vas deferens.
- Sputum with Pseudomonas.
Associated pathology
Pulmonary:
- Bronchiectasis.
- Fibrosis - secondary to infections.
Gastrointestinal tract:
- Pancreatic insufficiency.
- Meconium ileus.
- Meconium peritonitis.
- Crohn's disease.[3]
Genitourinary tract:
- Infertility - bilateral absence vas deferens.[4]
