Fissure adjacent partial lobe atelectasis in primary ciliary dyskinesiaEstablishing the underlying cause in a child with chronic suppurative lung disease (CSLD) allows for targeted treatment and screening for associated complications. One cause of CSLD is primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Testing for PCD requires specialist expertise which is not widely available.

Mucus accumulation in the lungs precedes structural changes and infection in children with cystic fibrosisThese findings indicate that early CF lung disease is characterized by an increased mucus burden and inflammatory markers without infection or structural lung disease

Impact of HIV and antiretroviral drug exposure on lung growth and function over 2 years in an African Birth CohortHIV exposure is associated with altered lung function in early life, with a vulnerable HIV-exposed uninfected subgroup based on maternal disease severity
