The term “primary” was used to distinguish this condition from secondary ciliary abnormalities caused by inflammation and infection. [frontiersin.org]

If the mucus cannot be moved, a vicious cycle of mucus over-production, inflammation and infection occurs. Repeated and chronic infections lead to inflamed and damaged airways, a condition known as bronchiectasis. [pcdaustralia.org.au]

To overcome diagnostic difficulties related to secondary abnormalities caused by infection and inflammation, HVMA as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM; see below) or immunofluorescence analysis (IF; see below) can be performed additionally [ciliajournal.biomedcentral.com]

It is of interest that, as with CF, spontaneously expectorated sputum reveals predominantly neutrophilic inflammation [ 82 ]. Evidence is awaited to support the use of anti-inflammatory agents such as corticosteroids and azithromycin. [breathe.ersjournals.com]

The important sign is that of a persistent “wet” sounding cough. Especially if such a cough persists for more than 8 weeks or symptoms return when antibiotic treatment is stopped. [czytelniamedyczna.pl]

However, despite treatment their daily wet sounding cough and rhinosinusitis never completely clears. [breathe.ersjournals.com]

The clinical consequences of the immotile cilia syndrome include chronic cough and expectoration, bronchiectasis, chronic rhinitis and nasal polyposis, chronic or recurrent sinusitis, and often an agenesis of the frontal sinuses. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]

Most patients present with neonatal respiratory distress during the first week of life and nearly all develop a chronic, wet-sounding cough to help compensate for the loss of ciliary movement in the lungs. [invitae.com]

Children who are too young to perform nasal douching may be offered sea water nasal sprays or nasal drops with nasal aspiration. Anecdotally, parents find baby nasal aspirators help clear the nose and aid sleep in infants. [journals.rcni.com]

Nasal biopsy electronic microscopy and functional evaluation of the cilia Differential diagnosis Primary ciliary dyskinesia must be differentiated mainly from the following chronic pulmonary diseases: cystic fibrosis, asthma, immunodeficiencies, chronic aspiration [jped.com.br]

It is not uncommon for children to be labelled as having difficult-to-treat asthma, chronic bronchitis, aspiration or an unidentified immune defect [ 39 ]. Such a label often defers the diagnosis of PCD. [breathe.ersjournals.com]

In addition, PCD patients develop a chronic cough and frequently have clinically severe respiratory infections. Since airway cleaning is disturbed, not only the respiratory tract in the lung but also the nasal passages have chronic obstruction. [campus.uni-muenster.de]

Lower respiratory tract The predominant symptom in these patients is chronic cough, usually productive. Wheezing is not common. Recurrent pneumonia is a frequent finding in the history of primary ciliary dyskinesia patients. [jped.com.br]

with good sensitivity and specificity in cooperative children ( 5 years old) and adults. nNO can also be measured during tidal breathing in less cooperative children ( 28 Sporadic cases of PCD have been reported, with normal nNO suggesting it is not [dovepress.com]

Frequently, children also present mouth breathing and nasal speech. Nasal polyps are found in approximately one-third of the patients. Anosmia is an occasional symptom, usually observed in older children. [jped.com.br]

Nervous system The brain ependyma has a ciliated epithelium; however, little is known about the neurological manifestations of primary ciliary dyskinesia in pediatric populations. Reports of hydrocephalus can be found in these patients (,). [jped.com.br]
