Is bronchiectasis serious
summary
We all know that bronchi connect our lungs. Generally, people with pneumonia and other lung diseases are more likely to be infected with bronchiectasis. Some people have bronchitis, especially hereditary bronchitis, which is easy to cause. Now let's popularize the science to see if bronchiectasis is serious.
Is bronchiectasis serious
First, bronchiectasis is due to chronic suppurative inflammation and fibrosis of the bronchus and its surrounding lung tissue, resulting in the destruction of the muscle and elastic tissue of the bronchial wall, resulting in the deformation and persistent expansion of the bronchus. The typical symptoms are chronic cough, cough with a lot of purulent sputum and repeated hemoptysis. The main pathogenic factors were bronchial infection, obstruction and traction, and some of them were congenital genetic factors. Most patients had history of measles, pertussis or bronchopneumonia.
Second, the course of bronchiectasis is usually chronic and can occur at any age. He has a history of measles, pertussis or pneumonia after influenza, or has a history of pulmonary tuberculosis, endobronchial tuberculosis, pulmonary fibrosis, etc. The typical symptoms are chronic cough, cough with a lot of purulent sputum and repeated hemoptysis. Expectoration was most common in the morning, evening and bedtime, reaching 100-400 ml per day.
Third: patients feel relaxed when expectoration is unobstructed; if sputum drainage is not unobstructed, they will feel chest tightness and systemic symptoms will be significantly aggravated. Most of the sputum is yellow green purulent, which can stink when combined with anaerobic infection. The sputum collected all day can be placed in glass bottles, and can be divided into three layers after a few hours.
