BACKGROUND: Recurrent lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) is a very common problem we encounter in our clinical practice. Failure to recognize the specific cause of this condition may subject the patients to unnecessary and inappropriate treatment. CASE DETAILS: among the various causes of recurrent LRTI, the most frequent causes are abnormalities of general or local impairment of immune mechanism and abnormalities of cilia or mucus of respiratory tract. We report an adult case of recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections since childhood along with situs inversus totalis which was diagnosed as Kartagener's syndrome...

Primary cilliary dyskinesia (PCD) is characterized by decreased levels of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), thought to reflect low activity of airway inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) levels. Alveolar NO (Calv) concentration and bronchial NO (JNO) flux can be calculated from FeNO measured at multiple exhalation flow rates. We hypothesised that whereas bronchial NO would be reduced in PCD due to reduced iNOS function, alveolar NO would reflect endothelial NOS (eNOS) function and be normal. We recorded the medical history; measured FeNO at multiple flow rates (50, 100, 200, 260 ml/sec); and performed spirometry in 24 children (aged 8-16 years)...
