https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2025.92.29
Abstract
The article describes a clinical case of Kartagener syndrome in a 12-year-old patient. During the physical examination, changes in the fingers of the hands of the "drumstick" type and nail plates of the "watch glass" type were recorded. A decrease in spirometry indicators, dextrocardia, chronic bronchitis changes in the lungs were revealed. The number of points on the PICADAR scale is 13. The set of clinical, laboratory and instrumental data, assessment on the PICADAR scale, allowed to establish the diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia: Kartagener syndrome.
The presented clinical case clearly demonstrates the problems of differential diagnosis of Kartagener syndrome. Increasing the alertness and awareness of doctors about this disease can help in rapid diagnosis, timely treatment and improving the quality of life of such patients.
