Cystic Fibrosis
By: Julia Sipple
Cystic Fibrosis is a autosomal recessive disease that causes build up of thick sticky mucus in the organs and lungs, progression of this can cause damage to the lungs and respiratory system. Symptoms can include coughing, repeated lung infections, and inability to gain weight. Treatments can help this disease but their is no known cure.
Summary: This is a very dangerous respiratory disease, but treatments can help make it more manageable. There is no known cure. Something that fascinated me was people of all ages can have this diseases and have to live with it forever.
