Bronchiectasias and tbc in children

Abstract

Studying the material relating to 45 cases of bronchiectasia in order to find out the main characteristic features of this disease to differentiate it from tbc, the author found that the chronic inflammatory fibrous process leading to bronchiectatic enlargements extends simultaneously to the bronchial walls, interstitial lung tissue and pleura, and that the most frequent localization of bronchiectasias is the lower lobe.
