Bronchiectasis: Advances in Diagnosis and Management

Bronchiectasis remains a major clinical challenge. It is increasing in prevalence globally, and as our understanding of the disease increases, we gain a deeper understanding of its complexity. The word most commonly used in discussions about bronchiectasis is “heterogeneity,” defined as “being diverse in character and content.” It is a fitting description for a condition that has many possible causes, diverse clinical presentations, overlapping conditions, and complex treatment. This heterogeneity makes bronchiectasis challenging but also a fasci nating topic to study and clinical conundrum to solve.
