Cystic fibrosis, is a common genetic disease in the white race with autosomal recessive inheritance. It occurs as a result of a defect in the chlorine channel called CFTR (Cystic Fibrous Transmembrane Regulatory Protein) in the epithelial cell membrane. Clinical findings are heterogeneous in cystic fibrosis due to involvement of more than one system. Lung findings are the most common findings at all age groups. Hemoptysis is not an uncommon complication of lung involvement and usually occurs as a result of the destruction of the airway wall due to infections due to bronchiectasis. Here, we report a case of von willebrand's disease which was followed up for cystic fibrosis and investigated for recurrent minor hemoptysis.
