Kartagener's Syndrome: A Case Series.

Kartagener's syndrome is an uncommon autosomal recessive ciliary dyskinesia. It combines a triad comprised of bronchiectasis, chronic sinusitis, and situs inversus. This work aims to describe the clinical and paraclinical aspects of primary ciliary dyskinesia using Kartagener's syndrome as a model and to highlight the difficulties of confirming the diagnosis in our context.

Virological Profile of Asthma Exacerbation in Children: A Hospital-Based Retrospective Study.

Introduction Viruses are the most common triggering factors for asthma exacerbation during the autumn and winter seasons. Viruses, such as influenza A and rhinovirus, play a major role in the occurrence of severe exacerbation of asthma. This association between viral infection and asthma exacerbation in children is a result of the antiviral response of the immune system and various anti-inflammatory phenomena.
