Ciliary Dyskinesia

Objectives: We aimed to investigate depression, burnout, attitude, and burden of caregivers of children with cystic fibrosis (CF), and especially caregivers of children with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) due to limited number of studies on this topic, and to compare them according to their children’s clinical status. Methods: Clinical features and demographic data of children and their families were asked to caregivers in four pediatric pulmonology centers. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale (ZCBS), and Parental Attitude Research Instrument (PARI) were administered to caregivers in both groups. Results were compared between the two groups. Results: In total, 131 children with CF and 39 with PCD and their caregivers were involved in study. All primary caregivers were mothers in both groups. Depression, burnout, and burden scores of mothers of children with CF were significantly higher than mothers of children with PCD (p=0.017, p=0.024, p=0.038, respectively). Burnout was higher in both CF and PCD groups with low family income (p=0.022, p=0.034). Number of hospital visits in the previous six months was correlated with burnout in both CF and PCD groups (r=0.207, p=0.034; r=0.352, p=0.044). Conclusions: Although mothers of children with CF have higher depression, burnout, burden, and negative attitudes towards children than mothers of children with PCD, it is disregarded in mothers of children with PCD. Psychological problems of mothers of children with CF and PCD may increase with frequent hospital visits, hospitalizations, low family income, number of children, and chronic disease in another child.

Ciliary Dyskinesia

Background: etiological investigations are not done for all adult patients with bronchiectasis because of the availability and interpretation of tests. The aim of the study was to elaborate a score to identify patients at high risk of having cystic fibrosis or primary ciliary dyskinesia (CF/PCD), which require appropriate management. Methods: diagnostic work-ups were carried out on a French monocenter cohort, and results were subjected to logistic-regression analyses to identify the independent factors associated with CF/PCD diagnosis and, thereby, elaborate a score to validate in a second cohort. Results: among 188 patients, 158 had no obvious diagnosis and were enrolled in the algorithm-construction group. In multivariate analyses, age at symptom onset (8.69 (2.10–35.99); p = 0.003), chronic ENT symptoms or diagnosed sinusitis (10.53 (1.26–87.57); p = 0.03), digestive symptoms or situs inversus (5.10 (1.23–21.14); p = 0.025), and Pseudomonas. aeruginosa and/or Staphylococcus aureus isolated from sputum (11.13 (1.34–92.21); p = 0.02) are associated with CF or PCD. Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis, using a validation group of 167 patients with bronchiectasis, confirmed the score’s performance with AUC 0.92 (95% CI: 0.84–0.98). Conclusions: a clinical score may help identify adult patients with bronchiectasis at higher risk of having CF or PCD.

Ciliary Dyskinesia

Background: There is a medial bulging of the lateral nasal wall in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Aims: Uncinate process (UP) angulation measurements in patients and controls to objectify this bulging. Materials and Methods: Thirty CF, 17 primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), 13 chronic rhinosinusitis with polyps (CRSwp), and 30 controls were included. Angles were measured bilaterally on computed tomography (CT) scans: A, B, C on coronal sections, D and E on axial sections. Angle A was between the UP and the orbit inner wall, whereas the others were between UP and midline. Results: There was no significant difference between controls, PCD, and CRSwp. However, CF had 3 statistically different angles with controls, 5 with CRSwp, and 4 with PCD. Angle A average value was 126° (±16°) in patients with CF, 138° (±19°) in controls ( P = .007), 145° (±15°) in PCD ( P = .001), and 138° (±14°) in CRSwp ( P = .001). Angle E average value was 35° (±10°) in patients with CF, 20° (±6°) in controls ( P < .001), 21° (±4°) in PCD ( P < .001), and 22° (±6°) in CRSwp ( P < .001). Conclusion: Uncinate process’s anatomy is only modified in CF: Angle between UP and inner wall of orbit is closed, and angles between UP and midline are opened. Significance: These measures quantify the medial bulging of lateral nasal wall and support nasofibroscopic observations.

Ciliary Dyskinesia

The pharmacokinetics of tobramycin in patients with ciliary dyskinesia have not been previously reported. A 10-year-old female patient with primary ciliary dyskinesia was admitted to the general pediatrics floor with an acute respiratory exacerbation after several months of worsening lung function that was unresponsive to oral antibiotics. Extrapolating from cystic fibrosis dosing regimens, she was given intravenous tobramycin 320 mg (10.3 mg/kg/day) on admission as a result of concern for a Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Two-point pharmacokinetic monitoring revealed a maximum serum concentration (Cmax) of 18.9 mg/L and a 24-hour area under the curve (AUC0–24hr) of 58.8 (mg × hr)/L, as well as a volume of distribution (Vd) of 0.5 L/kg and an elimination rate (Ke) of 0.34 hr−1. After a dosage increase to tobramycin 400 mg (12.8 mg/kg/day), pharmacokinetic parameters on 2 assessments were as follows: Vd 0.37 to 0.39 L/kg, Ke 0.33 to 0.39 hr−1, Cmax 27.8 to 28.7 mg/L, and AUC0–24h 78.4 to 89.4 (mg × hr)/L. This was the first case report of aminoglycoside pharmacokinetics in a patient with ciliary dyskinesia. The administration of larger doses (up to 12.8 mg/kg/day) of extended-interval tobramycin, similar to the treatment recommendation of at least 10 mg/kg/day for cystic fibrosis patients, was necessary in this patient to achieve serum concentrations that were appropriate for treatment.

Ciliary Dyskinesia

Immediacy of the problem of combination therapy of respiratory diseases in paediatric practice is caused by their multifactorial pathogenesis in children and the need to achieve a high clinical effect in the use of drugs at relatively low doses and with minimum risks of serious adverse effects and drug interactions. The fixed-dose combination of salbutamol, bromhexine and guaifenesin produced in the form of tablets and syrup fully meets these requirements, which makes it possible to use it in children and adults with acute, chronic infectious (ARVI, bacterial pneumonia, respiratory tuberculosis, etc.) and non-infectious (bronchial asthma, pulmonary cystic fibrosis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, etc.) diseases.
