Brief Answer:
This is mostly due to old fibrotic scarring.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Fibrotic strands are mostly seen due to previous lung infection.
Bronchiectesis is also a sequel after lung infection.
You might be having pneumonia or tuberculosis in the past which gives such fibrotic strands and bronchiectesis at present.
Please let me know
1. Are you having any symptoms at present?
2. Did you have tuberculosis or pneumonia in the past?
Please reply me answers of above asked questions, so that I can guide you better. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
