Kartagener's syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by bronchiectasis, situs inversus and chronic sinusitis. The triad is usually seen in a young age group and is punctuated by recurrent upper respiratory tract infections and pneumonia. The basic problem lie in ciliary motility, leading to recurrent chest infections and infertility.
