What is CF

CF is an “autosomal recessive” congenital disorder; autonomous meaning that both males and females can have it.

Cystic fibrosis has a variety of symptoms. The most common are:

Salt loss through excessive sweating (dehydration)

Frequent respiratory infections (bronchopneumonia, pneumonia, bronchiolitis)

chronic diarrhea or greasy stools

Inability to gain weight despite a good appetite despite a thin appearance

Different degrees of malnutrition, slightly bulging abdomen

chronic cough

shortness of breath during physical activity

chronic sinusitis

Cystic fibrosis is a non-communicable genetic disease that remains incurable until now, even thanks to advances in science and physicians and the various approved drug treatments that most patients share.
