Digestive manifestations of atypical cystic fibrosis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/854342660

This refers to digestive manifestations, in an atypical autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects most critically the lungs, and also the pancreas, liver, and intestine. It is characterised by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium across an epithelium, leading to thick, viscous secretions.
