Abstract

Cystic fibrosis has been previously reported in three children only in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This paper describes 12 Emirati children with the condition seen in a 1 year period in one medical district of the country. The disease is present in the severe, multisystem form in the UAE and these observations suggest that it is more common and more severe than previously recognized.
