Bronchiectasis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Initially, bronchiectasis may be asymptomatic. When symptoms do arise, they’re commonly attributed to other illnesses. The patient usually complains of frequent bouts of pneumonia or hemoptysis. The classic symptom, however, is a chronic cough that produces foul-smelling, mucopurulent secretions in amounts ranging from less than 10 ml/day to more than 150 ml/day.
Cough and sputum production are observed in greater than 90% of bronchiectasis patients. Characteristic findings include coarse crackles during inspiration over involved lobes or segments, occasional wheezing, dyspnea, sinusitis, weight loss, anemia, malaise, clubbing, recurrent fever, chills, and other signs of infection.
Advanced bronchiectasis may produce chronic malnutrition as well as right-sided heart failure and cor pulmonale due to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.
