Prolonged survival in an adult with cystic fibrosis

JS Sanders, TD Pryor and MK Wedel

Cystic fibrosis in patients over 40 is rare. We report a 52-year-old woman in whom cystic fibrosis was confirmed by sweat analysis. This patient represents the oldest cystic fibrosis patient (with confirmatory sweat chlorides) ever described. We conclude that any patient with the appropriate clinical presentation, regardless of age, should be investigated for cystic fibrosis.
