Atypical Cystic Fibrosis: Diagnosis At The Age Of 57 Years
CUREUS(2020)
摘要
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive, multi-organ disorder found predominantly among Caucasians. It classically presents in childhood with chronic productive cough, malabsorption causing steatorrhea, and failure to thrive. We present a 75-year-old female diagnosed with CF at the age of 57 years, which highlights the natural history and challenges in the diagnosis of atypical CF, including broadening physicians' respiratory differential diagnosis, limited patient symptoms, and late age of symptom onset.
