case_images: FIG2
case_images: CT chest findings of the younger sister.. A: CT chest, axial view, lung window. B: CT chest, coronal view, lung window.. CT of the chest shows decreased volume of the left upper lobe and lingula with diffuse cystic bronchiectasis. There is also bronchiectasis within the left lower lobe with a mucus plug and hyperinflation of the right lung with diffuse tree-in-bud changes of the right middle lobe likely secondary to infection.

case_images: Spirometry findings of the elder sister.. Spirometric measurement of the elder sister showed mixed restrictive and obstructive airway disease.. FVC = forced vital capacity; FEV = forced expiratory volume; PEF = peak expiratory flow; PIF = peak inspiratory flow; FET = forced expiratory time

case_images: The forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) in the elder sister were 25% and 40% predicted, respectively (Figure 4).
