Reports of the symptoms of CF go back to 1857, with the first documentation of a sickness that would soon be called cystic fibrosis. In this documentation, it described that "children with salty brows would soon die." The people of this time period knew that this sickness was deadly, but they had no idea what it was or how to treat it.
In 1938, Dr. Dorothy Anderson finally gave a clear understanding of what CF was and the symptoms that came with CF. She made this revelation while performing autopsies on babies in a New York hospital. In 1953, Paul Agnese built on this understanding and documented the increased salt concentration in the bodies of CF patients.
In 1964, a research foundation was set up for Cystic Fibrosis. This was done in hopes to help figure out what caused this disease. In 1985, this event happened. The chromosome that causes CF was identified.
However, there has not been much more learned about CF since that discovery. Today's technology helps babies and adults live with CF, but the research is ongoing to possibly find a cure.
