Primary ciliary dyskinesia and humoral immunodeficiency--is there a missing link? Respir Med 108: 931-934.Boon M, De Boeck K, Jorissen M, and Meyts I. Primary ciliary dyskinesia and humoral immunodeficiency--is there a missing link? Respir Med 108: 931-934, 2014....
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare disorder (prevalence 1/20000), caused by congenital dysmotility of the respiratory cilia. Humoral immunodeficiency (HID) often presents in a similar way with recurrent ear, nose and sinopulmonary infections, not seldom evolving to chronic lung disease. Alt...

(KS)’ based on the description by Manes Kartagener in 1933 [7], sometimes still referred to as Siewert’s (Zivert’s) syndrome, Siewert(Zivert)-Kartagener syndrome, or ‘immotile cilia syndrome’. It was later renamed ‘primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD)’ after dysmotile cilia had been ...
Kartagener syndrome, also known as primary ciliary dyskinesia or dyskinetic cilia syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterized by defects in the structure and function of the cilia. This syndrome is associated with male infertility, as it affects sperm motility. Treatment To help impr...
a very rare condition, and studies have revealed incidence rates of dextrocardia to bearound 1 in 12000 pregnancies. [7] Kartagener syndrome has an incidence rate of about 1 in 30,000 live births, and situs inversus totalis was seen in around 50% of patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia....
