The treatment of bronchiectasis exacerbations, including surgical options for refractory disease, will be reviewed here The diagnosis and treatment of cystic fibrosis and the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and chronic management of stable bronchiectasis in adults are discussed separately.
Sadly, our respiratory conditions, especially bronchiectasis, make us prone to repeat pneumonias
Off the top of my head, i'd say to be sure to keep up with yearly vaccines, along with others such as the pneumonia vaccine, covid, rsv, shingles etc As we age our immune system defenses decrease accordingly. Focal or localized bronchiectasis can develop as a result of untreated pneumonia or obstruction in the larger airways (eg, due to foreign bodies, tumors, postsurgical changes, lymphadenopathy) Mycobacteria (tuberculous or nontuberculous) can cause focal bronchiectasis and colonize the lungs of patients with bronchiectasis due to other disorders (see table factors predisposing to.
