Hello,
Any narration of either symptoms, reports, clinical progress or deterioration, treatment till date in details are lacking , only disregards to the consultants are found herewith in this narration.
From these much details I can comment as:
• In majority of the chronic bronchiectasis cases, patients remain symptom free or less symptoms from the supportive management of certain types, it is not cured for the lifetime.
• Prognosis is more dependent upon the underlying cause.
• Bronchopulmonary lavage with culture and MRI are best diagnostic tools after routine work-up with laboratory, chest x-ray, pulmonary function test, etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
