Description
Although cystic fibrosis is one of the most common inherited diseases, most people know very little about it. Written for parents and others who know or care for persons with CF, this book clearly describes all known aspects of the disease: how the various parts of the body are affected, how the symptoms are treated, its genetics, and major avenues of current research. Also included are accounts written by children with the disorder. It is a unique and helpful guide for anyone who works with or cares for children with CF.
