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.
此前仅在阿拉伯联合酋长国（阿联酋）有3例儿童患囊性纤维化的报道。本文描述了该国一个医疗区在1年时间内发现的12例患有该病的阿联酋儿童。在阿联酋，这种疾病以严重的多系统形式存在，这些观察结果表明，它比之前认为的更为常见和严重。
