Welcome

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.

About the Group

The group was formed in 1991 to:-

• Provide support to adults with P.C.D. and parents of children known to have the condition

• Bring P.C.D. to the attention of the medical profession and the public

• Provide an up to date information service

This web site offers information about P.C.D., information about current research into the condition and links to other pages of interest across the Internet.

We would be very grateful for any feedback. Why not give your opinion, have you any questions?
