Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is an inherited, relatively rare condition associated with
an abnormality of cilia, which may affect the lungs, sinuses and ears. If left untreated can lead to a form of lung damage know as bronchiectasis. The mainstay of treatment
is chest physiotherapy and targeted antibiotics which enables individuals to lead normal lives. Any problems resulting from PCD vary from person to person.
