| Abstract: | Introduction: Bronchiectasis is a progressive, obstructive lung disease that results from the presence of chronic inflammatory secretions and microbes leading to the permanent dilation and distortion of airway walls. Continuous cough followed by shortness of breath will cause reduced quality of life among the patients. Despite so many techniques, etiology remains undetermined. Diagnosis of bronchiectasis relies on clinical suspicion. Hence this study is for performed to demonstrate the clinical and radiological profile of bronchiectasis patients. Aim: To study the clinical and radiological profile of bronchiectasis and to assess the microbiological profile of bronchiectasis patients Materials and methods: This was a hospital- based observational study conducted in the Department of Pulmonary Medicine in Gauhati Medical College and hospital, Guwahati. The present study was conducted from 1st August 2018 to 30th July 2019. All patients more than 14 years of age ,with radiologically diagnosed bronchiectasis and willing to participate in the study were included. Demographic details of the patients were collected using a semi- structured questionnaire. Analytical tests were performed using Pearson correlation and Chi-square test. Results: A total number of 127 bronchiectasis patients who meet the inclusion criteria were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 49.47± 9.44 years. Common Etiology was idiopathic 54(42.51%) followed by history of antitubercular treatment 45 (35.43%). The most common radiological type of bronchiectasis was cylindrical 79 (62.20%) followed by cystic 36 (28.34%). Pseudomonas was the most common organism seen in 27 (21.25%) of the sputum cultures of bronchiectasis patients. Pseudomonas had a clinically and statistically significant association with cystic type of bronchiectasis with a p value of 0.0004. Conclusion: In this study Idiopathic etiology is the common cause of Bronchiectasis. Obstructive pattern of spirometry is found in majority. Psedudomonas is the common pathogen. |
