Abstract:
Cystic fibrosis is a hereditary disease that affects the
exocrine glands, leading to the production of thick and
sticky mucus in the respiratory system, digestive tract,
and other organs. In children, the disease manifests from
an early age and requires timely diagnosis and treatment.
Without adequate therapy, cystic fibrosis can lead to severe complications, disability, and a significant decrease
in quality of life. This article discusses the epidemiology, causes, diagnosis, symptoms, and modern treatment
methods of this disease.
