Abstract
|
|
|
We have experienced 13 cases of brenchiectasis of which 5 cases were treated surgically and 8 cases were treated medically. The develepement of diagnogtic measures, especially bronchography made the diagnosis of bronchiectasis relatively easy and accurate.
We used Dionosil as contrast material. 5 cases out of 13 had primarily pulmonary tuberculosis in past history. This means that the lung tuberculosio is one of important causative diseases of bronchiectasis in Korea.
The literature reveals that bronchietasis tends to develop early in life, although it may have its cnset at any age, The average age of onset in present series is 19 years old.
The most common tie of bronchiectatic lesion was right lower lobe.
I emphasise on routine diagnostic use of bronchography if there is any suspected lesion, particularly to rule out chronic bronchitis Conservative prolonged medical care is recommanded for those with diffuse tubular bronchiectatic changes and／or accompanying chronic bronchitis.
