What
Is Cystic Fibrosis?
Cystic fibrosis is an inherited
chronic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000
children and adults in the United States (70,000 worldwide). A defective gene
and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus
that:
•
clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening lung infections; and
•
obstructs the pancreas and stops natural enzymes from helping the
body break down and absorb food.
In the 1950s, few children with
cystic fibrosis lived to attend elementary school. Today, advances in research
and medical treatments have further enhanced and extended life for children and
adults with CF.

Because of risks to
people with cystic fibrosis (CF), individuals who have had a confirmed positive
sputum culture for Burkholderia cepacia (B. cepacia) complex shall not attend this event. This is because B. cepacia
can be passed between individuals who have CF through close proximity. B.
cepacia infection in a person with CF can cause serious respiratory illness
and, in some patients, may lead to death. Despite this policy, there might
still be some individuals with B. cepacia in attendance. B. cepacia is not a
risk for otherwise healthy individuals. For alternative ways to participate and
for information about this policy, please contact the CF Foundation at (800)
FIGHT-CF or visit www.cff.org. Consult
your CF care center physician with medical questions.
