title: Amyloidosis in cystic fibrosis: a case series.
abstract: As the life expectancy of patients with cystic fibrosis increases, unusual complications including amyloidosis are increasingly recognised. We report three cases of amyloidosis including a unique case presenting with a hemorrhagic and thrombotic diatheisis. This complication of amyloidosis has never been reported in cystic fibrosis.
