A chronic respiratory disease called bronchiectasis causes enlarged and damaged airways in the lungs, which makes it difficult to cough out mucus and causes recurring infections. Pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and occasionally infectious disease experts are among the professionals who are likely to be engaged in the treatment of individuals with bronchiectasis. These professionals are skilled at identifying and treating respiratory disorders.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Bronchiectasis is normally diagnosed based on a medical history, physical examination, and a battery of diagnostic testing, which may include chest X-rays, CT scans, pulmonary function tests, sputum cultures, and blood tests. Bronchiectasis treatment often focuses on symptom management, infection prevention, and lung function improvement. Antibiotics, airway clearance procedures, bronchodilators, and, in some cases, surgical interventions may be used.

Advanced Diagnostic Techniques

Advanced diagnostic techniques for bronchiectasis may include high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans, which provide detailed images of the lung structures. HRCT scans are particularly helpful in visualising the extent of bronchiectasis and its severity.
