| A hallmark of H. influenzae infections in bronchiectasis and COPD is their propensity for recurrence. |
| However, during later stages of IPF, cysts and bronchiectasis may develop, allowing these areas to harbor infections in the native lung. |
| If the tiny, hair-like cilia in the lungs do not function properly, mucus gets trapped in the bronchi, resulting in bronchiectasis. |
| The authors report a case of esophageal perforation after sequential double-lung transplantation for bronchiectasis. |
| Home nebulizers are used to deliver maintenance antibiotic therapy for patients with cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis. |
| Hypersecretion is an important feature in many chronic airway diseases, including COPD, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, and acute asthma. |
