ABSTRACT
One of the causes of middle lobe syndrome is primary ciliary dyskinesia. This diagnosis was established in an eight-year-old girl by functional studies of the cilia on bronchial and nasal biopsy specimens. The clinical approach to this disease is emphasized and the technical difficulties raised by the diagnosis are discussed.
