Yellow Nail Syndrome Patients with Diffuse Panbronchiolitis-like pulmonary manifestation: Two case reports. Intern Med. 2018 Sep 12;: Authors: Imai R, Nakatani R, Nakaoka H, Tomishima Y, Jinta T, Chonabayashi N, Tamura T Abstract Yellow nail syndrome (YNS) is a rare clinical syndrome characterized by a triad of yellow thick nail, lymphedema and respiratory diseases. We experienced 2 cases of YNS with diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB)-like pulmonary manifestation. Since YNS might be hidden to those who have been diagnosed with DPB, physicians should be alert to recognize nail signs of YNS in case of DPB refractory to macrolide therapy. We hereby review previous case reports of YNS and discuss its pulmonary manifestations. PMID: 30210127 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
