{Abstract}: This review article explores the respiratory aspects of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a rare, heterogenous, genetic disorder characterized by impaired motile ciliary function. It discusses the clinical diagnosis and management strategies for PCD-related respiratory disease, including chronic sinusitis, otitis media with effusion, recurrent pneumonia, and bronchiectasis. The review emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach to optimize care and clinical trials to improve outcomes in individuals with PCD, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis.
