Random Fact Friday
Patients with PCD had significantly worse olfactory scores than non-PCD sinusitis patients, even taking into account the radiological severity of the sinus disease. The CT score has previously been shown to correlate well with the level of olfactory dysfunction,8 suggesting that in the patients with PCD there is an additional cause for their loss of smell. The fact that olfactory dysfunction was worse in patients with PCD with major ultrastructural abnormalities adds further support to this theory.
