chronic bronchitis vs bronchiectasis? |
bronchiectasis: irreversible dilation and destruction of airways from chronic inflammation= chronic cough and inadequate mucus clearance. more associated wit RECURRENT respiratory tract infections, and MUCOPURULNET sputum. crackles, ronchi, wheezing more common with bronchiectasis than bronchitis. CF, kartagener syndrome (dyenin arm of cilia f'd), necrotizing infection, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. emphysema: too much protease, not enough antiprotenase. protease ruins the elasticity and the grocery bags collapse and trap air. alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency: PAN acinar. still produced in the liver- messing up folding so they stay in the endoplasmic reticulum. = cirrhosis PAS+ Pan acinar is smoker. |
