The yellow nail syndrome is usually described as the combination of yellow nails with lymphoedema and often with respiratory manifestations such as pleural effusions, chronic sinusitis and bronchiectasis. The syndrome is most often seen in the middle-aged individuals.
We present a 6-year-old girl with yellow nail syndrome having pansinusitis and bronchiectasis.
The components comprising the classical triad of yellow nail syndrome in children may not necessarily be present altogether. Therefore, yellow nail syndrome should be suspected in children having only typical nail changes.
黄甲综合征通常被描述为黄甲合并淋巴水肿,且常伴有胸腔积液、慢性鼻窦炎和支气管扩张等呼吸系统表现。该综合征最常见于中年个体。
我们报告一名6岁患黄甲综合征的女孩,伴有全鼻窦炎和支气管扩张。
构成儿童黄甲综合征经典三联征的各组成部分不一定会同时出现。因此,对于仅有典型指甲改变的儿童,应怀疑患有黄甲综合征。
