 Kartagener's syndrome consists of a triad of symptoms of situs inversus, bronchiectasis and sinusitis. Two cases of this syndrome, in one a 7-year old girl and the other, a 14 year-old boy, are reported.

 The first case was hospitalized with complaints of excessive nasal discharge, cough and sputum. Examination revealed sinusitis, a complete sutus inversus and bronchiectasis involving the left middle lobe of the lungs.

 The second case complained of purulent nasal discharge, productive cough and palpitation. Diagnosis of a complete type of Kartagener's syndrome was made.

 Kartagener's syndrome is very rare in occurrence, approximately 0. 008 to 0. 023%.

 The etiology of the present syndrome remains to be unknown, but it is quite interesting that familial incidence is frequent and so also of consanguinity of marriages in the parents of the patient.

 Genetic investigation on the family lines of 108 cases that occurred in this country revealed that genetic factors are responsible for the manifestation of this syndrome and it is suggestive that the heredity pattern may be due to autosomal recession with pleiotropic effects.
