La bronchectasie ou bronchiectasie ou dilatation des bronches (DDB) est une dilatation des bronches chronique, le plus souvent acquise à la suite d'une maladie des bronches, du poumon ou de la plèvre. Elle est caractérisée par une dilatation des bronches de petit et moyen calibre et s'accompagne souvent d'une expectoration mucopurulente abondante, qui traduit l'infection surajoutée. Elles peuvent être localisées ou diffuses. Un syndrome obstructif se développe. On a plus souvent un trouble ventilatoire mixte (baisse de la capacité pulmonaire totale et baisse du rapport de Tiffeneau (VEMS/CVF) en spirométrie).
