[PAGID] primary cilia dyskinesia

[Church, Joseph]

Richard:

 

Have you identified the infecting organisms?

 

We had one patient with primary cilia dyskinesia and selective antibody
deficiency.  We treated her with IVIG, but there didn't seem to be a
clinical response and the infusions were discontinued.

Subject: [PAGID] primary cilia dyskinesia

 

I saw a five year old girl with primary cilia dyskinesia who has been
managed with nasal hygiene and rotating aerosolized tobramycin and
vancomycin but continues to have chronic sinusitis and recurrent
bronchitis. She has had one pneumonia in the past year. Any other
management suggestions? Has anyone treated such patients with gamma
globulin. This patient has had a normal evaluation in the past and has
normal isotypes today. Additional studies are pending.
Thanks,
