Diagnosis of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia [PDF]
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.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia. Clinical observation [PDF]
We give an example of our own clinical observation of primary ciliary dyskinesia showing difficulties of this disease diagnosis. The complexity of this clinical picture is in the absence of situs viscerum inversus of the patient with early symptoms of ...

Clinical Outcomes of Chronic Airway Infection in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia [PDF]
ABSTRACT Introduction Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare disorder of impaired respiratory mucociliary clearance and chronic pulmonary infections. The clinical impact of chronic infection is poorly understood. The objective of this single‐center, retrospective cohort study was to assess clinical outcomes of people with PCD and chronic airway ...

Evaluation of Pulmonary and Otological Manifestations in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia and Their Effect on Quality of Life [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective Otitis media and conductive hearing loss are common in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). We primarily aimed to assess the impact of otologic features of individuals with PCD on health‐related quality of life (QOL), and our secondary aims are characterization of the coexisting pulmonary and sinonasal findings.

Diagnosing primary ciliary dyskinesia in Australian adults: 10 years of testing [PDF]
Abstract Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare inherited disorder characterised by impaired ciliary function, leading to chronic upper and lower airway disease from early life. Limited awareness of the condition contributes to delayed diagnosis, with some individuals first diagnosed in adulthood following specialised testing. We describe 91 adults
