Kartagener syndrome in a young Ethiopian boy: a case report

The diagnosis of Kartagener syndrome is typically delayed because the clinical symptoms are easily mistaken for common infections. Since there is no specific treatment for Kartagener syndrome, early diagnosis and management of Kartagener syndrome are critical to prevent irreversible lung damage and chronic lifelong sequelae. A high index of suspicion is needed to make an early diagnosis so that timely treatment options may be offered to prevent problems associated with Kartagener syndrome.
