So far, very few case reports have been reported from India and even fewer from North India. We are reporting a classic case of a 14-year-old boy presenting to the medicine outpatient department with features of lower respiratory tract infection, who, on work-up, was diagnosed as a case of BBS on clinical grounds. He underwent conservative treatment and, over the next 7 days of treatment with parenteral antibiotics and fluids, resumed in the state of normalcy. Obese children or adolescents with polydactyly must raise a suspicion in the minds of a physician and must warrant further investigations, so as to prognosticate the guardians well before complications set in.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/aam.aam_47_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,27]],"date-time":"2025-06-27T10:00:15Z","timestamp":1751018415000},"page":"214-217","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bardet\u2013Biedl
