Kartagener syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a combination of primary ciliary dyskinesia and situs inversus. Individuals with this condition have defective cilia, which are tiny hair-like structures that help move mucus and other substances in the respiratory tract. This can lead to chronic respiratory infections and other complications. In addition to respiratory issues, people with Kartagener syndrome often have situs inversus, where internal organs are mirrored from their normal positions. This can affect organ function but is usually not life-threatening. Early diagnosis and management are essential for improving quality of life.
