A member asked:
What is it like to live with primary ciliary dyskinesia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic lung disease: Primary ciliary dyskinesia causes frequent ear, sinus & lung infections for which several preventive approaches can be utilized. Using airway clearance therapies regularly will prevent buildup of mucus in the lungs & prevent long term damage (bronchiectasis) from occurring. Frequent use of antibiotics is a necessity for most PCD patients. With optimal care, good long term outcomes can be achieved.
