Define bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis describes damage to the walls of the bronchial tubes with loss of the smooth
muscle and loss of elasticity of segments of the bronchi. The resultant airway distortion prevents

acquired. Cystic fibrosis is the most common cause of congenital bronchiectasis.

 Symptoms of bronchiectasis include
◦ increased sputum production,
◦ bloody sputum,
◦ shortness of breath,
◦ weakness, and fatigue.
