What is Bronchiectasis?
Bronchiectasis is a disease state defined by localized, irreversible dilation of part of the bronchial tree. It is classified as
an obstructive lung disease, along with emphysema, bronchitis and cystic fibrosis. Involved bronchi are dilated,
inflamed, and easily collapsible, resulting in airflow obstruction and impaired clearance of secretions. Bronchiectasis
is associated with a wide range of disorders, but it usually results from necrotizing bacterial infections
Symptoms
People with bronchiectasis produce frequent green/yellow sputum (what is distinctive is that patients with
bronchiectasis can fill 240ml (8 oz) glasses with their daily sputum production). There may be bad breath and, when
associated with cystic fibrosis, diarrhea (because patients with bronchiectasis often develop chronic pancreatitis).
Causes
• Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
• Tuberculosis
• Iinflammatory bowel disease
• ulcerative colitis
• various allergic responses to inhaled fungus spores
• rheumatoid arthritis
• respiratory infections
• obstructions
• inhalation and aspiration of ammonia and other toxic gases
• pulmonary aspiration
• alcoholism, heroin (drug use)
• various allergies
• Kartagener syndrome
• cystic fibrosis
• Young's syndrome
• chronic
• sinopulmonary infections
• alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency
• primary immunodeficiencies
• Williams-Campbell syndrome
Western Medicine Treatment
• controlling infections and bronchial secretions
• relieving airway obstructions
• removal of affected portions of lung
• the prolonged usage of antibiotics
• eliminating accumulated fluid with postural drainage
• chest physiotherapy
• Inhaled steroid therapy
• beclometasone dipropionate
• inhalers
• long acting bronchodilators
• inhaled
