RESUMO
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder that is typically inherited in an
autosomal recessive manner. It is clinically characterized by recurrent respiratory
infections. However, its repercussions for patient quality of life should not be overlooked.
Studies have shown that PCD has a significant impact on the lives of patients, although
there are as yet no PCD-specific markers of quality of life. To address that problem,
researchers in the United Kingdom developed a quality-of-life questionnaire for patients
with PCD. The present communication focuses on the process of translating that
questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese, through a partnership between researchers in
Brazil and those in the United Kingdom, as well as its subsequent application in patients
in Brazil.
