Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a chronic inflammatory or degenerative condition of one or more bronchi or bronchioles of the
lungs marked by dilatation and loss of elasticity of the walls. Infection is the mechanism by which the disease progresses. The disease, left untreated, will continue to damage lung tissue and bronchial tubes and cause emphysema and severe breathing difficulties.
