A Rare Cause of Adult Bronchiectasis

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The etiology of bronchiectasis may be idiopathic in up to one half of adults. Consideration of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) may not be considered in adults without dextrocardia. We present a subject with bronchiectasis with PCD and central pair absence, a rare variant of PCD not previously diagnosed at such a late age.
