Meconium Ileus in a Nigerian Infant.
Abstract
Summary: A case of meconium ileus in a neonate born to Nigerian parents of Birom ethnic origin is reported. We believe that this is an early manifestation of cystic fibrosis. To our knowledge, neither meconium ileus nor cystic fibrosis has been reported pre viously in a Nigerian child. It is suggested that Paediatricians and other workers in the field of Paediatrics and Child Health in Nigeria and other African countries should be aware of the existence of this disease in children.
