Regulation of immunity in bronchiectasis and ABPA
Bronchiectasis
* Irreversible, abnormal dilatation of one or more bronchi, with chronic airway inflammation. Associated chronic cough, sputum production, recurrent chest infections, airflow obstruction, and malaise
* Prevalence unknown (not common)
* Pathological endpoint with many underlying causes
Pathogens associated with exacerbations and disease progression in bronchiectasis
Haemophilus influenzae
Haemophilus parainfluenzae
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Streptococcus pneumoniae
Moraxella catarrhalis
Staphylocccus aureus
