Popis: The authors presented their first experience of radionuclide assessment of the nasal mucosal transport (NMT) in 39 patients with chronic bronchopulmonary pathology (14 adults and 25 children) to detect patients among them with suspected syndrome of primary ciliary dyskinesia (SPCD). In 18 patients the test was positive excluding SPCD as a cause of a chronic inflammatory pulmonary process. In 21 patients NMT was absent, 2 of these patients had Kartagener's triad serving as a kind of model confirming the data on NMT. The authors proposed the method as a screening test due to its non-invasiveness and simplicity in patients with chronic inflammatory pulmonary diseases in order to detect among them patients with suspected SPCD for further examination using invasive methods.
