Estratto
Le bronchiectasie rappresentano alterazioni morfostrutturali dei bronchi di calibro superiore ai 2 mm, caratterizzate da dilatazione irreversibile della parete bronchiale, imputabile a distruzione delle componenti muscolari ed elastiche delle loro pareti, con conseguente deficit funzionale dello stroma muscolo-connettivale di sostegno. Generalmente risultano associate ad infezione batterica cronica (flogosi cronica) e alla produzione di grandi quantità di escreato mucopurulento.
