Cystic fibrosis, illustration. Lungs (left) and expanded view of a mucus-clogged bronchus (lung airway) in cystic fibrosis. This hereditary condition (also called mucoviscidosis) results in the bronchi being clogged with mucus, causing severe breathlessness. Over-production of mucus and chronic inflammation of the lungs is treated with physiotherapy and antibiotic drugs, but the condition progresses and is ultimately fatal. | |
