Extract
Bronchiectasis represents a clinical syndrome of recurrent or persistent wet/productive cough with abnormal bronchial dilatation in chest computed tomography (CT) images [1, 2]. Previously considered rare [1, 3], it is globally more common than cystic fibrosis (CF) [4, 5], and has high patient burden, needs and treatment costs [4, 6, 7].
Abstract
