Abstract
Kartagener syndrome is a peculiar entity among primary ciliary dyskinesias (PCD) characterized by a clinical triad: chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis and complete or incomplete situs inversus. It is a rare genetic ciliary disease with autosomal recessive inheritance. The fundamental problem lies in defective movement of the cilia, leading to recurrent chest infections. We report a case of Kartagener syndrome discovered incidentally during an etiological work-up for wheezing dyspnea with chronic bronchorrhea.
