Are bronchitis and bronchiectasis the same?

February 15, 2022
Bronchiectasis disease is a condition in which the airways of the lungs permanently expand and scar as a result of persistent or severe infections. Bronchitis is an inflammation of the lungs' major and small airways.

Bronchiectasis and bronchitis, both acute and chronic, are difficult to distinguish clinically, although all three have a characteristic bronchial deformity . In acquired bronchiectasis, the bronchial malformation is saccular or fusiform; in acute and chronic bronchitis, it is cylindrical. Salt Therapy for bronchiectasis at Saltworld assures your overall health.
