Bronchiectasis

insufficienza_respiratoria
Bronchiectases are irreversible dilatations of airway tracts (bronchi) due to lesions of the bronchial walls.

 

  • The most common cause is severe or repeated respiratory infections, often in people with an underlying lung or immune system problem.

 

  • Most patients develop chronic cough (some with blood) chest pain and recurrent episodes of pneumonia.

  • Treatment often involves inhalation medication, antibiotics, and the use of other measures to suppress and eliminate mucus accumulation.
