Primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: yesBarcelona Respiratory Network Reviews
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic respiratory disease caused by a dysfunction of motile respiratory cilia and is characterized by laterality defects, neonatal respiratory distress, recurrent upper and lower airway tract infections, and ...

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2004
In patients with chronic respiratory diseases that last since the early childhood, primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) needs to be considered. Four patients reviewed in this paper were with typical disease history and clinical picture, as well as clear ...

Olfactory Dysfunction in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: goldOTO Open
Objective Individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) frequently report olfactory dysfunction, yet this deficit is poorly documented. The purpose of this study was to characterize the presence and degree of olfactory dysfunction in PCD compared to ...

Limitations of PICADAR as a diagnostic predictive tool for primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences
BackgroundThe Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Rule (PICADAR) is a diagnostic predictive tool currently recommended by the European Respiratory Society (ERS) to assess the likelihood of a primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) diagnosis.

Beyond bacteria and breaking the norm: Pulmonary mucormycosis due to in a child with primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of International Medical Research
Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that impairs mucociliary clearance and predisposes children to chronic respiratory infections. Invasive fungal infections caused by Lichtheimia (Absidia) corymbifera are typically confined

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: yesPaediatric Respiratory Reviews, 2016
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a recessive genetically heterogeneous disorder of motile cilia with chronic otosinopulmonary disease and organ laterality defects in ∼50% of cases. The prevalence of PCD is difficult to determine. Recent diagnostic advances through measurement of nasal nitric oxide and genetic testing has allowed rigorous diagnoses ...

Primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]

open access: yesQJM, 2014
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of cilia structure, function, and biogenesis leading to chronic infections of the respiratory tract, fertility problems, and disorders of organ laterality. The diagnosis can be challenging, using traditional tools such as characteristic clinical features, ciliary function, and ...
