Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) are inflammatory airway diseases that may impinge on ENT practice in one of two ways. Firstly, a child thought previously to be healthy may present to the ENT surgeon with features that are suggestive of one of these conditions. Such a child should be referred for a diagnostic work up to a specialist unit. Secondly, a child known to have one of these conditions may be referred for treatment, either of a known complication, or of an unrelated condition.
