MARQUES, Ana et al. Mounier-Kuhn syndrome: A rare aetiology of recurrent respiratory infections. Rev Port Pneumol [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.5, pp.721-727. ISSN 0873-2159.
The incidence of the syndrome may be greater than is suspected. Patients present with recurrent respiratory infections and bronchiectasis. The symptoms are non-specific and indistinguishable from those of other chronic respiratory diseases. The diagnosis is often made several years after the first clinical complaints. The authors perform a brief review of the literature and report two cases of Mounier-Kuhn syndrome. One of the patients was diagnosed in childhood and the other in the fourth decade of life.
