Abstract:
Two cases of Kartageneranjx syndrome were presented. They were sisters in the same family and were 15 years and 13 years old respectively. Chief complaints of the first case were chronic cough and expectoration and of the second case were chronic cough, expectoration and nasal stuffiness. Situs inversus, bronchiectasis and paranasal sinusitis were identified in both cases. EKG showed typical findings of mirror image compatible with dextrocardia in all two cases. Administration of antibiotics and postural drainage were performed with good resultin the first case but no remarkable improvement in the second case. A brief review of literatures was made.
