Photographic Print : Cystic fibrosis
Photo Prints from Science Photo Library
Cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis. Light micrograph of a section through a bronchus (airway) of the lungs in a case of cystic fibrosis (mucoviscidosis). The bronchus is clogged with mucus, causing the severe breathlessness seen in this inheritable condition. Over-production of mucus and chronic inflammation of the lungs is treated with physiotherapy and antibiotic drugs, but the condition progresses and is ultimately fatal. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the devastating impact of cystic fibrosis on the respiratory system. In this light micrograph, we see a section through a bronchus, or airway, of the lungs affected by this inheritable condition. The bronchus is visibly obstructed by thick mucus, resulting in severe breathlessness that characterizes cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that leads to over-production of mucus and chronic inflammation in the lungs. Although physiotherapy and antibiotic drugs are used to manage these symptoms, unfortunately, the progression of this disease is relentless and ultimately fatal. The image serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by individuals living with cystic fibrosis and their families. It highlights not only the physical burden caused by excessive mucus but also underscores how it significantly impairs respiration. Histologically speaking, this sectioned bronchus reveals histopathological changes characteristic of cystic fibrosis. The pathology observed here emphasizes the need for continued research into understanding its underlying mechanisms and developing more effective treatments. As we contemplate this image from Science Photo Library's collection, it prompts us to reflect on both our medical advancements in managing such conditions and our collective responsibility to support those affected by them.
