Young Syndrome

We present a case of 30 year old make who presented with recurrent sinopulmonary infection, with oligospermia and 100% immotile sperm and diagnosed as a Young's syndrome. [lungindia.com]

Young syndrome requires differentiation from cystic fibrosis (CF) which can present with similar features. While Young syndrome more often presents in males, CF presents equally in either sex. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
