Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a complex, chronic disease that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. It is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time. It is inherited, and characterized by the buildup of thick, sticky mucus that can damage many of the body's organs.
