1) Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder that impairs the normal functioning of motile cilia. This leads to problems clearing mucus from the lungs and other areas.
2) In PCD, cilia either do not form properly or do not beat effectively. This disrupts mucociliary clearance and can cause chronic infections of the lungs and sinuses. It can also affect organ placement before birth.
3) Clinical consequences of PCD include neonatal respiratory distress in the majority of cases, as well as repeated ear, sinus and lung infections in early childhood that are often initially misdiagnosed. Organ laterality defects are also common. Proper diagnosis of PCD is

Bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchi. It can be acute or chronic. Acute bronchitis often occurs with a cold or flu and is characterized by cough with mucus. Chronic bronchitis lasts more than 3 months per year for over 2 years and is usually caused by smoking or air pollution. Symptoms include productive cough. Treatment involves antibiotics for bacterial infections, bronchodilators to open airways, mucolytics to thin mucus, steroids to reduce inflammation, and pulmonary rehabilitation. Nursing care focuses on breathing treatments, pulmonary hygiene, comfort measures, and health education. Preventing bronchitis involves avoiding tobacco smoke, managing diet, hand washing, and using a humidifier.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) consists of two main conditions - emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Emphysema causes damage to air sacs in the lungs, reducing surface area and oxygen intake. Chronic bronchitis involves long-term inflammation of the bronchi, causing coughing and mucus for at least three months per year. Smoking is the primary cause of both conditions. Globally, COPD caused over 3 million deaths in 2015, with over 90% occurring in low and middle-income countries. India has seen COPD cases increase significantly in recent decades.

Baby Arym, a 6-month old boy, was brought to the hospital with symptoms of productive cough, dyspnea, and remittent fever for 3 days. Physical exam revealed a temperature of 103 F, rapid breathing, and crackles in both lungs. Chest x-ray showed white patches in the left upper lobe. He was admitted and given medications to treat pneumonia, including antibiotics, oxygen, and breathing treatments. The medical diagnosis was pneumonia based on symptoms, physical exam findings, and chest x-ray results.
COPD refers to chronic bronchitis and emphysema, two commonly co-existing lung diseases where the airways become narrowed leading to limited airflow. The main causes are smoking, occupational exposures, air pollution, and genetic conditions. Symptoms include chronic cough, sputum production, wheezing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Management includes bronchodilators, corticosteroids, oxygen therapy, promoting exercise, and controlling complications to improve lung function and general health.
HIV/AIDS is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which attacks CD4+ cells in the immune system. There are two types, HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is further divided into groups M, N, O, and P. HIV infects and destroys CD4+ T cells leading to immunosuppression and increased risk of opportunistic infections. HIV progresses from primary infection to clinical latency to early signs of infection like candidiasis and lymphadenopathy to late stage AIDS with life threatening infections when CD4+ counts fall below 200 cells/mm3. HIV is transmitted through unprotected sex, contaminated blood or needles, mother-to-child transmission, and other bodily
