Swyer James MacLeod Syndrome: A rare cause of recurrent respiratory infections case report

Abstract

Swyer-James-MacLeod Syndrome (SJMS) is a rare pulmonary disorder that is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed, leading to delays in appropriate management. We present a case of a woman in her fifties with an unusual presentation of COVID-19 with recurrent respiratory infections and unilateral hyperlucent lung who was diagnosed with SJMS. This case report highlights the importance of considering SJMS in patients with recurrent respiratory infections and unilateral hyperlucent lung, shedding light on the treatment and management for this rare condition.
