The Role of Electron Microscopy in Evaluating Ciliary Dysfunction: Report of a Workshop

This report summarizes the proceedings of a workshop organized with the purpose of bringing together many of those with substantial experience in this troublesome area of pathology for an active interchange of ideas, opinions, problems, and solutions. Recognition was given the fact that current knowledge and technical capabilities are woefully inadequate for dealing with the diagnostic questions now being asked. Until such time as these inadequacies can be remedied, a very conservative approach to the interpretation of ultrastructural studies is advocated.
