[Transmission electron microscopy study of the nasal cilia].
The authors draw the attention on the existence of dyskinetic and immotile cilia in patients with chronic respiratory infections of unknown origin. The study of the ultrastructure of the ciliae is done by a transmission electron microscope. It is very important to make a difference between primary and acquired anomalies. Furthermore, the authors emphasize the importance of early diagnosis in view of a treatment.
