This early clinical appearance, the familial pattern so often exemplified, and the advanced morphologic lesions even in infants make it probable that there is an intrinsic element in pathogenesis which may be effective even before birth.Before 1938, many cases of fibrocystic disease which now could be recognized with ease were reported under various names and...Bibliography1.
