The first clinical case is that of a 48-year-old female patient who presents with recurrent upper airway infections such as chronic sinusitis and acute otitis media, as well as several episodes of pneumonia in childhood, which required hospital admission for intravenous antibiotic therapy. In addition, the patient had tried to get pregnant several years ago without success. He consulted a pulmonologist for this condition, reaching the diagnosis of bilateral bronchiectasis, chronic sinusitis, and situs inversus, a diagnosis of complete Kartagener syndrome.
The second case is a 36-year-old male patient with a history of rhinosinus infections and recurrent pneumonia who presents with severe pneumonia with secondary hypoxemic acute respiratory failure. The diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the disease are discussed.
