It is considered that Kartagener's syndrome is caused by ciliary dysfunction. This syndrome is characterized by the clinical triad of bronchiectasis, sinusitis, and dextrocardia. We describe an elderly patient with Kartagener's syndrome who reached advanced age. We suppose that it may be possible for patients with Kartagener's syndrome to live a full span with optimal therapy for respiratory tract infection and control progression of this disease. Chronic Respiratory Disease 2007; 4: 75—76

Key Words: bronchiectasis • elderly • Kartagener's syndrome
