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. We review the respiratory signs and symptoms of PCD, as well as the screening tests for and diagnostic investigatio...
متن کاملPrimary ciliary dyskinesia: mechanisms and management
Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a genetically heterogeneous disorder of motile cilia that is predominantly inherited in an autosomal-recessive fashion. It is associated with abnormal ciliary structure and/or function leading to chronic upper and lower respiratory tract infections, male infertility, and situs inversus. The estimated prevalence of primary ciliary dyskinesia is approximately one in ...
متن کاملPrimary ciliary dyskinesia.
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, bronchiectasis, rhino-sinusitis, otitis media, impaired fertility in women, and infertility in men....
متن کاملPrimary ciliary dyskinesia: diagnosis and standards of care.
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is characterized by disease of the upper and lower respiratory tract, in association with visceral mirror image arrangement in 50% of cases, due to abnormal structure and/or function of cilia. The purpose of this paper is to review the clinical features, diagnosis and management of PCD. Presentations include neonatal respiratory distress, recurrent lower respira...
