MECONIUM ILEUS AND CYSTIC FIBROSIS IN JAPAN

Re-evaluation of 46 cases

Abstract

No case of meconium ileus or cystic fibrosis, in which the clinical and laboratory as well as pathological data clearly substantiated the diagnosis, has been reported in Japan. However, a typical case of cystic fibrosis was found after a re-evaluation of the cases collected from all over Japan. This case is epoch making.
