[Chronic dysplasia of the respiratory ciliary epithelium].
We report on a 14-year-old Turkish boy who suffered for more than seven years from recurrent pneumonia and bronchiectases. This led to the surgical removal of the left lower lobe. Brush biopsies taken from the bronchus and nose revealed severe dysmorphy of the ciliary epithelium with an altered cell-distribution of the normal surface pattern.
