Abstract
Up to 50% of in may involve viral infections.
- Bronchiectasis is characterized by irreversible dilation of the bronchi, leading to frequent respiratory infections and chronic inflammation.
- Bacterial infections have long been recognized as major contributors to the progression of bronchiectasis.
- Recent findings suggest that viruses could play a significant role in exacerbations of bronchiectasis.
- The impact of viral infections on bronchiectasis is still largely unexplored, indicating a gap in understanding.
- Insights from other chronic respiratory conditions may help elucidate the role of viruses in bronchiectasis.
