Overview

In cystic fibrosis abdominal distension and digital clubbing may be detected. In HEENT examination there are nasal polyps and signs of rhinosinusitis (purulent nasal discharge, mucosal edema, turbinate hypertrophy and tenderness on palpitation of the sinuses). Lung examination may present hyperresonant lungs, wheeze or crackles and productive cough with mucoid or purulent sputum.
