Cystic fibrosis is an inherited condition. It causes damage to the lungs and digestive system, and it is life-threatening.Common symptoms of cystic fibrosis include persistent coughing, inflamed nasal passages, wheezing, breathlessness, severe constipation, and lung infections. Cystic fibrosis occurs due to a gene mutation that affects the protein that regulates the movement of salt in and out of cells.
The mucus, which is normally thin and slippery, becomes sticky and thick and clogs the tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs.
This makes it hard to cough the mucus out of the lungs. Breathing can become difficult and cause complications including chronic lung infections, nasal polyps, coughing up blood, respiratory failure, diabetes, and reproductive system complications.

Cytomegalovirus is a common, typically harmless type of herpes virus that people tend to contract during late adolescence and early adulthood. The virus does not usually cause symptoms, but it may become active again and spread more quickly after infection with other bacteria. New research in the European Respiratory Journal found that people with cystic fibrosis who also have the virus may experience faster disease progression compared with those who do not have the virus.
