Abstract

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder of cilia structure, function and biogenesis leading to chronic infections of the respiratory tract, due to congenital impairment of mucociliary clearance. Mutation in genes coding components of cilia can result in primary ciliary dyskinesia.

Learning disabilities are the disorders that affect the acquisition, retention, comprehension or the application of verbal and or nonverbal information.

Our patient presented with recurrent respiratory tract infection requiring nebulization with antibiotics treatment on Outpatient department basis. Child's Radiological investigation and Genetic study were planned and done which later confirmed the diagnosis. Child also had poor Scholastic performance along with behavioral issues for which detailed psychiatric evaluation was done which was suggestive of border line intellectual deficit with learning disability and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) for which child was started on treatment along with behavioral therapy.
