Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) encompasses a group of disorders characterized by ciliary dysfunction, leading to chronic respiratory symptoms, bronchiectasis, among others. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, functional tests and genetic testing, with the latter being the confirmatory method. Although there is no cure, treatment aims to improve quality of life through physiotherapy, antibiotics, and inhalation therapy. We present the case of a woman with recurrent respiratory infections, initially diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. During adolescence, PCD was investigated, revealing a genetic mutation and situs inversus, thus confirming the diagnosis.
