Bronchiectasis is a condition defined by abnormal dilation of the bronchi caused by inflammation and damage to the bronchial walls. It has many etiologies including post-infection, airway obstruction, immune deficiencies, and genetic disorders. Patients present with large amounts of purulent sputum, chronic cough, and recurrent pneumonia. Diagnosis involves imaging like CT scans showing dilated bronchi. Treatment involves airway clearance, antibiotics, and sometimes surgery for severe cases or massive hemoptysis.
