We describe two infants with previously undiagnosed CF who had electrolyte depletion, metabolic alkalosis, and dehydration in the winter and three infants known to have CF in whom similar manifestations developed.Clinical Data.—In December 1977 and February 1978, two infants with previously undiagnosed conditions (patients 1 and 2) were referred to Rainbow Babies and Childrens Hospital, Cleveland, because of vomiting and dehydration.
