Congenital bronchiectasis - what does this mean
Congenital bronchiectasis is a rare condition caused by abnormal development of the bronchi in the lungs before birth. it can be caused by genetic mutations, infections, or other environmental factors. it results in abnormal widening of the bronchi, which can lead to recurrent infections and difficulty breathing.
What happens during the disease - congenital bronchiectasis
Congenital bronchiectasis is a condition in which the bronchial tubes are abnormally enlarged and filled with mucus due to an underlying genetic defect. this defect results in an impaired ability of the bronchial tubes to clear out mucus, leading to recurrent infections and inflammation in the lungs. this can lead to further damage to the airways and decreased lung function, as well as an increased risk of respiratory complications.
