Arthritis in cystic fibrosis

Arch Dis Child. 1984 Apr;59(4):377-9. doi: 10.1136/adc.59.4.377.

Abstract

We have confirmed previous observations of a transient, non-disabling recurrent arthritis in patients with cystic fibrosis. This arthritis differs from classic rheumatoid arthritis, is frequently associated with skin arthritis lesions, and its occurrence is unrelated to the severity of lung disease.
