Diseases of the respiratory system are a leading cause of morbidity, mortality and
disability worldwide. Bronchiectasis is a progressive respiratory disease characterized by a
permanent dilation of bronchi. The prevalence and incidence of bronchiectasis is increasing
worldwide mainly due to the increased recognition of the disease and availability of better
diagnostic modalities. Post-infectious bronchiectasis was the most common cause of
bronchiectasis among those with identified risk factors, of which post-Tb bronchiectasis is the
commonest one. The most common factors that influence prognosis and mortality are severity of
disease, age, bacterial colonization, frequency of disease exacerbation and underlying and comorbid
condition.
