ANS: A, B, D, E
The initial presentation of cystic fibrosis in the neonate appears in the gastrointestinal system. The newborn may have a meconium ileus, with meconium so thick that it causes obstruction and requires surgical removal. The infant may initially have bulky stools that are frothy and foul-smelling. Prolapse of the rectum may also occur in infancy and childhood. Malnutrition, anemia, and growth failure persists despite normal caloric intake.
