Cutaneous manifestations in Kartagener's syndrome: folliculitis, nummular eczema and pyoderma gangraenosum.
We report the case of a 47-year-old male with Kartagener's syndrome (KS; situs inversus, bronchitis and sinusitis) who showed three types of cutaneous lesions: recurrent outbreaks of nummular eczema, recurrent deep folliculitis and two episodes of pyoderma gangraenosum. The patient had also IgA gammopathy of undetermined significance. This is the second case of KS associated with cutaneous lesions published so far and suggests that primary ciliary dyskinesia syndromes may have skin symptoms.
