[Immotile cilia syndrome].
The case of a patient with immotile cilia is reported. This syndrome is characterized by infertility caused by immotile spermatozoa and by bronchiectases owing to inadequate function of ciliated cells. Electron microscope studies showed gross abnormalities of the axial threads in the flagella of the spermatozoa examined.
