Bronchiectasis

Bronchiectasis - How to prevent?

Bronchiectasis - Diagnosis

To confirm the diagnosis, you will need to have a computerised tomography (CT) scan.

Your doctor may also ask you to give a sample of your phlegm to find out what bacteria are present. You might also need to have blood tests to look for possible causes of bronchiectasis.

Occasionally, your doctor will suggest a bronchoscopy to look inside your lungs and take lung samples.
