Abstract:
Bronchiectasis is a type of disease characterized by abnormal dilation and distortion of the bronchi caused by various causes. The etiology, symptoms, comorbidities, severity, and clinical outcome of bronchiectasis are highly heterogeneous. This article briefly describes the different causes and differential diagnosis of bronchiectasis, and outlines the indicators for evaluating the severity of bronchiectasis, providing clues for identifying the endotype of bronchiectasis, further evaluating the condition, and providing precise treatment for patients in the future.
