Article Synopsis
- - Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects cilia movement and leads to respiratory issues from birth, but diagnosing it has no standard method and requires specialized tests.
- - The PCD-UNIBE center in Switzerland developed a thorough diagnostic process including nasal brushing, high-speed videomicroscopy (HSVM), immunofluorescence (IF), and electron microscopy (TEM) to assess patients.
- - In their assessment of 100 patients, they found that no single diagnostic method was sufficient; 17 patients were confirmed with PCD while others were either inconclusive or ruled out, emphasizing the need for a multi-faceted approach to reliably diagnose the condition.
