Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that alters the body's secretions, making them thick and sticky, which mainly affects the lungs and the digestive system from an early age.
Usual manifestations: frequent respiratory infections, persistent cough, difficulty gaining weight, and problems digesting food.
Origin: it is passed from parents to children and is present from birth, so it is usually detected in childhood.
Which specialists handle it? Its management is multidisciplinary: the pediatric pulmonologist takes care of the respiratory aspect, the pediatric gastroenterologist the digestive one, the geneticist provides guidance on the hereditary component, and the pediatrician coordinates follow-up. Having a professional team makes it possible to closely support the patient's development.
