Today’s featured artist is Reneé Dale with her submission titled “Of All Things…”.
“Common findings in infants and children with PCD include daily nasal congestion (rhinitis) and year-round wet cough occurring soon after birth. Chronic otitis media that results in temporary or sometimes permanent hearing loss and recurrent sinus infections are classic features. Often, sinusitis is not diagnosed in young children secondary to lack of radiographic imaging. Bronchiectasis occurs in some infants and preschoolers (21). Chest computed tomography (CT) scans show a variety of abnormalities, including atelectasis, air trapping, thickened airway walls, and mucous plugging (21, 34–36). Because respiratory manifestations overlap with other common early childhood diseases (e.g., recurrent respiratory viral infections, gastroesophageal reflux), the diagnosis of PCD is frequently missed, despite the presence of cardinal clinical features, even when coupled to situs inversus. This lack of knowledge highlights the importance of education for many specialties, including neonatology, pulmonology, cardiology, otolaryngology, and for primary care providers. ~ American Thoracic Society
