Young's syndrome, also known as azoospermia sinopulmonary infections, sinusitis-infertility syndrome and Barry-Perkins-Young syndrome, is a rare condition that encompasses a combination of syndromes such as bronchiectasis, rhinosinusitis and reduced male fertility.[1][2][3] In individuals with this syndrome the functioning of the lungs is usually normal but the mucus is abnormally viscous. The reduced fertility ([obstructive [azoospermia]]) is due to functional obstruction of sperm transport down the genital tract at the epididymis, where the sperm is found in viscous, lipid-rich fluid.[3][4] The syndrome was named after Donald Young,[5] the urologist who first made observations of the clinical signs of the syndrome in 1972.[6]
