<h4>Rationale</h4> Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare genetic disease affecting ciliary motility and causing respiratory symptoms. Diagnosis can be done by high-speed- videomicroscopy using nasal epithelial cells (NECs) obtained via brushings. This procedure can be painful, especially for children.
