Summary
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) presents with respiratory symptoms and cilia defects. This study links PCD to various lung conditions, including diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB), highlighting diverse respiratory tract lesions.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Genetics
- Microscopy
Background:
- Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder affecting cilia function.
- Its clinical manifestations and relationship with other respiratory diseases require further elucidation.
