The association between CF and other inherited diseases or congenital anomalies is rare. We describe a rare case of CF with concomitant congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). 21- Hydroxylase deficiency accounts for most CAH cases. Varity in clinical phenotypes depends on the amount of enzymatic activity which in turn depends on different combination of gene mutations. The genes of CAH and CF are located in different locations. The chance of these diseases coexisting in our patient would be a rare combination. However, such a case will be more frequent in our population than others because of consanguineous marriage and common ancestors. There are diagnostic difficulties, similarities and contradictions between two diseases and they are pointed out.</p> Archives of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology - Heighten Science Publications Corporation 2020-10-20 Case Reporthttps://www.theskygallerypattaya.com/haard/aaai-aid1021.phpenCopyright © Mohammad Nabavi et al.
