Three Pueblo American Indian children with cystic fibrosis are described. The three cases constitute a higher incidence of cystic fibrosis in Pueblo Indians than would be expected from the known rarity of this disease in American Indian populations. This report discusses the possible genetic implications and emphasizes the need to consider the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis in American Indians with appropriate symptoms.
本文描述了三名患有囊性纤维化的普韦布洛美国印第安儿童。这三例病例表明，普韦布洛印第安人中囊性纤维化的发病率高于根据已知该疾病在美国印第安人群体中的罕见程度所预期的发病率。本报告讨论了可能的遗传影响，并强调了对有相应症状的美国印第安人考虑囊性纤维化诊断的必要性。
