The article is devoted to demonstrating a clinical case of primary ciliary dyskinesia in monozygotic twins and its particular variant – Kartagener syndrome in one of them. Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a genetically determined pathology associated with a defect in the function of the ciliated epithelium, leading to the formation of a chronic inflammatory process in the respiratory tract. The authors present the dynamics of the clinical symptoms of the disease in observed twin children with different variants of the course of the disease, describe the stages of the diagnostic search and the tactics of patient management.
