Today’s featured artist is Katlynn Wilson with her submission titled! “American Pandemic”.
Recurrent pneumonia or bronchitis is common in PCD; however, some infants will lack this history due to frequent antibiotics for nasal discharge and otitis media. By preschool age, up to 80% of PCD patients have recurrent lower respiratory tract infections.4 Bronchiectasis, predominantly affecting the middle and lower lobes,33 is an age‐related finding in PCD, with 50% of children having bronchiectasis by 8 years of age and nearly universal presence in adults.34, 35 In adults with PCD, the combination of bronchiectasis and chronic sinusitis may be the most readily identifiable PCD‐related features because adults with PCD may not be able to recall age of onset of early childhood symptoms. ~ Diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of primary ciliary dyskinesia: PCD foundation consensus recommendations based on state of the art review - https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ppul.23304
The PCD Artist Project is a collaborative effort by artist to raise awareness for PCD or primary ciliary dyskinesia and support the PCD Smiles program. Each artist who submitted art work to the project either has PCD or has a PCD friend or family member.
