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.
原发性纤毛运动障碍（PCD）是一种遗传性疾病，通常以常染色体隐性方式遗传。其临床特征为反复呼吸道感染。然而，不应忽视其对患者生活质量的影响。研究表明，PCD 对患者的生活有重大影响，尽管目前尚无针对 PCD 的生活质量特异性标志物。为了解决这个问题，英国的研究人员为 PCD 患者开发了一种生活质量问卷。本通讯重点介绍了通过巴西和英国的研究人员之间的合作，将该问卷翻译成巴西葡萄牙语的过程，以及随后在巴西患者中的应用。
