La bronchiectasia è una malattia in cui si riscontra una dilatazione irreversibile di una porzione dell'albero bronchiale dei polmoni. I sintomi tipicamente includono una tosse cronica produttiva di muco. Altri sintomi includono mancanza di respiro, tosse con sangue e dolore toracico. Possono riscontrarsi anche un respiro sibilante e le dita ippocratiche, anche se quest'ultime sono rare. I pazienti con questa malattia spesso accusano frequenti infezioni polmonari.
