The neonatal feature of cystic fibrosis is? Correct Answer Meconium ileus

Cystic Fibrosis

  • It is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder. In this, the fluid secreting cells like sweat, digestive secretions, and mucus cells are impacted.
  • The inheritance of defective genes leads to the abnormal production of thick and sticky fluids. Such secretions block the passageways tubes and ducts.

  • Commonly affected systems are the lungs, digestive system, and pancreas.
  • The first sign of cystic fibrosis  in many newborns may be that they have difficulty passing their first bowel movement (meconium).
  • This occurs when the meconium becomes so thick that it can't move through the intestines, sometimes causing a blockage also known as Meconium Ileus.
