[Objective] To investigate the relationship between the body constitution and the syndromes of the bronchiectasis patients and provide the basis for the clinical treatment.[Methods] Col ected 80 out-patients and in-patients of bronchiectasis in the first affiliated hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from May 2011 to March 2012. Al patients met with the inclusion criteria, adopted the standardization of physical scale for physical identifica-tion and dialectical type and analyzed the relationship between constitution and syndrome.[Results] ①The gentleness type, qi-deficiency type and yin-defi-ciency type were more popular in the bronchiectasis, fol owed by the phlegm-wet type, wetness-heat type, yang-deficiency type and qi-depression type. The special inherited type and blood-stasis type were very rare. ②The syndrome of phlegm heat obstructing lung was the top one in the Chinese tradi-tional medical syndromes(48.75%).The frequency of liver-fire attacking lung syndrome, hyperactivity of fire due to yin deficiency syndrome and qi-yin de-ficiency syndrome were 21.25%, 18.75% and 11.25% respectively. ③From different body constitution distribution of TCM syndromes in patients with bronchiectasis, it could be found:gentleness type, qi-deficiency type, yang-deficiency type, phlegm-wet type and wetness-heat type were most presented as phlegm-heat stasis lung syndrome. Patients with qi-deficiency type were most presented as qi-yin deficiency syndrome .Patients with Yin deficiency type were always performed as hyperactivity of fire due to yin-deficiency syndrome. Patients with lung qi-stasis type were liver-fire invading lung syn-drome.[Conclusion] Phlegm-heat stasis syndrome was the main syndrome in patients with bronchiectasis. It conformed to the pathological characteristics of deficiency essence with virtual reality. Different body constitutions decided the different traditional Chinese medical syndromes after the disease onset.
