What Are the Cystic Fibrosis Symptoms in a Baby?
The medical community continues to make strides in the treatment of cystic fibrosis. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the median predicted age of survival rose to 37.4 years in 2008, up from 32 years in 2000. The March of Dimes notes that most states routinely screen newborns for CF. Babies with CF who are not screened are usually identified when they become symptomatic, either as newborns or during the first years of life.
