Not only are these episodes a severe economic burden to the patient, but, more significantly, they may produce permanent lung damage. Since respiratory insufficiency, manifested functionally by bronchial obstruction and unequal ventilation-perfusion ratios, is commonly observed in patients with bronchiectasis, further deterioration of lung function would be expected to affect prognosis adversely (1, 2).We have analyzed the data on 63 patients with established bronchiectasis to determine whether repeated or...References1.
