Eighteen children who had been diagnosed as having cystic fibrosis (CF) in earlier years were found to be normal and have been inappropriately diagnosed. Removal of the diagnosis from the child involved a movement through stages in the family from disbelief to anger before comfortable acceptance of normalcy in their child. Diagnosis of a chronic disease involves complex alterations in perception of self and family. The long-range effects of such an improper diagnosis may influence behavior and development.
早年被诊断患有囊性纤维化（CF）的18名儿童被发现健康正常，之前的诊断有误。从孩子身上撤销该诊断，这让整个家庭经历了不同阶段，从一开始的难以置信到愤怒，最终才欣然接受孩子健康正常这一事实。慢性病的诊断涉及自我认知和家庭观念的复杂变化。这种错误诊断的长期影响可能会对孩子的行为和发育产生影响。
