Abstract

Two cases of cystic fibrosis of the pancreas, proved by autopsy, showed, during life, biochemical evidence that pancreatic achylia was not complete. In one case, two vitamin A absorption curves were in the normal range and a definite trace of trypsin was present in the duodenum at the age of 10 months. In the other, a trypsin concentration in the normal range was found at the age of 8 1/2 months and trypsin concentration was still unusually high for this disease at age 14 months.
