Infertility in Males with Cystic Fibrosis

Thos. S. Bumbalo M.D.1

1 Chief Attending Pediatrician in Charge Edward J. Meyer Memorial Hospital 462 Grider Street Buffalo, New York 14215

I read with considerable interest the paper, "Infertility in Male Patients with Cystic Fibrosis" (Pediatrics, 41:7, 1968).

The authors state in their comment, "we know of no instance where such an individual has fathered a child," and in their speculations: "the consistent finding of azoospermia in the group of patients studied, in addition to the fact that we know of no instances where a male patient with cystic fibrosis has fathered a child, strongly suggests that these young men are infertile."
