Impaired Growth during Childhood in Patients with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) leads to recurrent/chronic respiratory infections, resulting in chronic inflammation and potentially in chronic pulmonary disease with bronchiectasis. We analyzed longitudinal data on body length/height and body mass index (BMI) for 29 children and young adults with PCD aging 1.5-24 years (median, 14.5) who had been diagnosed at the age of 0.5-17 years (median, ...
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 کاملCiliary dyskinesias: primary ciliary dyskinesia in adults
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder of cilia structure and function, chronic infections of the respiratory tract, fertility problems and disorders of organ laterality. Establishing a definitive diagnosis can be challenging, requiring a compatible phenotype and detection of ciliary functional and ultra-structural defects, along with newer screening tools such as nasal nitric o...
