Spectrum and prognosis of ANCA-associated vasculitis-related bronchiectasis: data from 61 patients.

Patients in whom bronchiectasis precedes the onset of AAV tend to have distinct clinical and biological features and could carry a worse prognosis. PMID: 31787599 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
