This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether two specialized diagnostic tools—high-speed video microscopy and nasal nitric oxide measurement—can accurately identify primary ciliary dyskinesia in adults with bronchiectasis (chronic lung damage). Primary ciliary dyskinesia is an inherited disorder where the tiny hair-like structures in the lungs don't work properly, leading to breathing problems and recurrent infections. Right now, many adults with unexplained bronchiectasis go undiagnosed, missing the chance for targeted treatment.
About 40–80% of adults with chronic lung damage have no identified cause, which means they can't receive specialized care tailored to their specific condition. This study exists to test whether these two diagnostic tools, used together, can catch cases of primary ciliary dyskinesia that might otherwise be missed—especially in patients where traditional testing gives normal results.

If you enroll, you will undergo specialized diagnostic testing to evaluate your lung condition. This includes a nasal nitric oxide measurement (a breathing test) and high-speed video microscopy analysis (where a small sample of cells is examined under a microscope to assess ciliary function). The study aims to enroll 60 adults with bronchiectasis and is actively recruiting participants.
