Abstract
Dr. A. Milunsky describes (Pediatrics, 42:501, 1968) the observation "for the first time" of cystic fibrosis of the pancreas in three children with Down's syndrome. I would like to point out that such association has been observed in several autopsied cases at the Department of Pathology in University Medical School of Milan. I think this association occurs very frequently in Down's syndrome, and I described it in the book "Il Mongolismo, auxopatia somatopsichica caniotipica," by E. Aldeghi and A. Maderna, in the chapter devoted to the pathological anatomy of the syndrome (page 69).
