Abstract

Cystic fibrosis, an apparent inborn error of metabolism, is a common disease of children and young adults in countries with predominant Caucasian populations. It was first described by Fanconi in Switzerland following the recognition of the association of congenital cystic pancreatic fibrosis and bronchiectasis in 1936.(1) In this country, it was Andersen(2) who presented in 1938 the first complete description of the disease and introduced the term, “cystic fibrosis of the pancreas.” Although other names for the disease have been proposed in the past decades, the shortened form of the original name for the disease, “cystic fibrosis,” has become most common. A number of detailed reviews have recently appeared in the literature. (3–7)
