| Popis: | A case of Kartagener's syndrome associated with multiple pulmonary complication was presented. A 19-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of pulmonary tuberculosis in May 1972. He had been diagnosed as Kartagener's syndrome because of the presence of chronic parasinusitis, bronchiectasis and complete situs inversus. His chest radiographs in Dec 1972 revealed left pneumothorax. Chest radiographs in Aug 1975 appeared aspergilloma in the right middle lung field. He was administrated intravenous and oral anti-fungal agent and transbronchial installation of Amphotericin-B because of hemoptysis. Chest radiographs in July 1980 resolved the aspergilloma and his symptom were also resolved. In 1996, he had no pulmonary symptoms and respiratory failure. We consider that the Kartagener's syndrome was good prognosis with adequate pulmonary therapy. |
