Ciliopathies share many overlapping symptoms, often making it difficult to distinguish between them based on clinical presentation alone. [invitae.com]
In cilia from PCD cells, DNAH7 was undetectable, whereas intracellular DNAH7 was clearly present. These studies identify DNAH7 as an inner arm component of human cilia that is synthesized but not assembled in a case of PCD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Results The clinical characteristics of these children are presented in Table I. The age at presentation ranged from 1-84 days. [jpma.org.pk]

Hearing Impairment
Upper airway symptoms include rhinosinusitis and recurrent serous otitis media with hearing impairment [ 6 ]. Situs inversus is found in approximately 50% of cases and situs ambiguous is seen in approximately 10% of cases [ 6, 7 ]. [link.springer.com]

Headache
Individuals with PCD may also have situs inversus or situs ambiguous, headaches or hydrocephalus. All the causative genes identified thus far have roles in the development and function of cilia and flagella. [flystocks.bio.indiana.edu]
Symptoms of hydrocephaly include: Neurological Digestive and Urinary Movement Increased sleepiness/fatigue Nausea Altered pattern of walking (gait) Seizures Vomiting Poor coordination Headaches Loss of bladder control Generalized slowing of arm/leg movement [study.com]
Recommendations for surgical indications arising from this review include: nasal obstruction, polyposis, headache or facial pain, medialization of the lateral nasal wall and pulmonary exacerbations associated with sinusitis refractory to medical treatment [medcraveonline.com]

Agitation
A cytology brush is inserted into the nostril and agitated along the turbinate ( Figure 6 ). Sampling is uncomfortable but not painful, and takes only a few seconds. [journals.rcni.com]
Treatment
Right now, there is no way to fix faulty cilia, so treatments address the symptoms of PCD and work to improve patients’ quality of life. [childrenscolorado.org]
On the basis of treatment, the market is categorized into drug treatment, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, others. On the basis of drug treatment, it is further segmented into clarithromycin, erythromycin and azithromycin, and others. [openpr.com]

Saline breathing treatments. Continued treatment for asthma- although at the moment the immunologist and pulmonologist think she may not even have asthma. The diagnosis today was preliminary. [forums.cysticfibrosis.com]
Prognosis
With modern care and abstinence from smoking, the prognosis in the immotile cilia syndrome is good. The immotile cilia syndrome clearly is a genetically heterogeneous disease, although its clinical profile is fairly uniform. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]
With the resulting meta-cohort it is possible to i) describe the clinical presentation, growth and lung function over the course of life, ii) evaluate diagnostic examinations and evaluate treatments in use, and iii) evaluate long-term prognosis. [ispm.unibe.ch]
Once bronchiectasis is established, prognosis worsens significantly. [patient.info]
Treatment and prognosis The natural progression of primary ciliary dyskinesia is relatively slow compared to cystic fibrosis for example, but nonetheless, up to 25% of patients eventually develop respiratory failure 4. [radiopaedia.org]
This should be avoided, since differences in pathophysiology, morbidity, and prognosis will likely lead to problems of treatment failure and lack of adherence. [eprints.soton.ac.uk]
Etiology
In one retrospective study on children with bronchiectasis in Korea, primary PCD were documented in 4.3% of patients as an underlying etiology [2]. [journals.viamedica.pl]

Epidemiology
Epidemiology, airway defense mechanisms, pathogenesis, imaging and genetic causes of bronchiectasis are discussed. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is addressed, as well as non-tuberculous mycobacteria as a cause of bronchiectasis. [books.google.com]

Prevention
Many genes participate in the construction of a cilium, and an error in any one of them will prevent the cilia from working properly. The inheritance in most cases is autosomal recessive. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]

Aggressive measures to enhance clearance of mucus, prevent respiratory infections, and treat bacterial superinfections have been observed to slow lung-disease progression. [sites.google.com]
Frustratingly for the patient, this can cause delays by weeks or even months, but preventing brushings which will not result in a conclusive outcome is time and cost effective for the NHS, and it prevents repeated sampling for the patient. [journals.rcni.com]
A number of measures to prevent respiratory tract infection and irritation should be considered. [slideshare.net]
