  • Title: [A case of yellow nail syndrome presenting as recurrent pneumonia].
    Author: Tanoue M, Satoh T, Yoshizawa Y.
    Journal: Nihon Kyobu Shikkan Gakkai Zasshi; 1993 Dec; 31(12):1566-71. PubMed ID: 8121094.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of yellow nail syndrome (YNS) associated with recurrent episodes of pneumonia. The patient, a 31-year-old female, presented with yellow nails, chronic bronchitis and pleural effusion. The etiology of YNS remains unknown although it has been postulated to be associated with lymphatic abnormalities. YNS is a rare disease with only 22 cases reported in Japan. However, YNS is often associated with respiratory infections, and should thus be borne in mind.
