Bronquiectasia é a dilatação anormal de uma ou mais vias aéreas. Em condições normais, glândulas minúsculas presentes no revestimento das vias aéreas produzem uma pequena quantidade de muco. O muco mantém as vias aéreas úmidas e captura qualquer poeira e sujeira no ar inspirado. Porque bronquiectasias causam dilatação anormal das vias aéreas, uma quantidade extra de muco tende a se formar e a se acumular nas porções dilatadas. Vias aéreas dilatadas com excesso de muco estão propensas a infecção. | |||
