Summary
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) also called kartagener syndrome or immotile cilia syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by impairment of the action of cilia lining the respiratory tract, Eustachian tube, fallopian tube, as well as in the flagella of sperm cells. This can lead to recurrent respiratory infections, chronic cough, sinusitis, otitis media and infertility. There is no cure for PCD, but treatments can help manage symptoms and prevent complications.
