#Influenza #Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease characterized by irreversible dilation of the bronchi, leading to mucus accumulation, persistent inflammation, and increased susceptibility to respiratory infections. Despite therapeutic advances, management remains limited by the challenge of controlling chronic inflammation and preventing frequent exacerbations. Recent evidence suggests an infectious etiology in the development and progression of the disease, underscoring the importance of microbial agents in its evolution.
