Lung structure and function similarities between primary ciliary dyskinesia and mild cystic fibrosis: a pilot study

摘要

BackgroundPrimary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and cystic fibrosis (CF) are increasingly compared. There are no chest magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) comparative studies of PCD and CF. We assessed clinical, functional, microbiological and MRI findings in PCD and mild CF patients in order to evaluate different expression of lung disease.
