Kartagener syndrome is characterized by the clinical triad of chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis, and situs inversus.
Patients present with chronic upper and lower respiratory tract disease resulting from ineffective mucociliary clearance. Atypical presentation is that of rhinorrhea and/or mucopurulent discharge since birth. Immotile spermatozoa result in male sterility.
