Primary ciliary dyskinesia. [PDF]
Paediatr Child HealthPrimary ciliary dyskinesia, also known as immotile-ciliary syndrome causes impaired mucociliary clearance most notably in the upper and lower airways. We describe a middle aged man with a history of primary ciliary dyskinesia who presented to the hospital following a witnessed seizure at home.

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia [PDF]
American 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 ciliary axonema damage.

Diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]
Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia, 2015 Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder of ciliary structure or function. It results in mucus accumulation and bacterial colonization of the respiratory tract which leads to chronic upper and lower airway infections, organ laterality defects, and fertility problems.

Diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia [PDF]
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2022 Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disease leading to bronchiectasis in most patients. In addition to the lungs, PCD might affect multiple organ systems, and patients frequently have multiple clinical problems, which require multidisciplinary management.

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 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]
QJM, 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 ...

Primary ciliary dyskinesia [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 2002 Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an inherited condition characterised by functional and/or structural congenital abnormalities of cilia. Presentation is often in the neonatal period, but there are age-related differences in presentation, and diagnosis is often delayed.

Respiratory Care, 2013 Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic condition that affects the ciliary function of the respiratory tract, sperm tail, cilia of the embryonic node, and fallopian tube. The condition is characterized by impaired ciliary action, leading to recurrent lower-respiratory-tract infections,
