Pulmonary manifestations of yellow nail syndrome are principally centered around
chronic cough
effects for recurrent lung infections (bronchiectasis) and

The role of proposed lymphatic impairment could account for the development of pleural effusions and smooth interlobular septal thickening. Very rarely, a diffuse panbronchiolitis like picture has also been described 4.
