What is Bronchiectasis: Causes, Signs, and Management about?

Bronchiectasis is characterized by abnormal and permanent dilation of bronchi due to recurrent infections and inflammation, with idiopathic causes in 25-40% of cases. Management includes conservative treatments like antibiotics and chest physiotherapy, while surgery may be indicated for localized or cystic bronchiectasis, especially when medical treatment fails. Complications of untreated bronchiectasis can include lung abscesses, respiratory failure, and pulmonary hypertension.
