Official Title: Inflammatory and Microbiologic Markers in Sputum in Response to Pulmonary Exacerbation: Comparing Cystic Fibrosis With Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to compare the lower airways inflammatory response to infection/pulmonary exacerbation among children known to have Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) with children known to have Cystic Fibrosis (CF) as measured by the presence of inflammatory mediators in expectorated/induced sputum.
