Treatment of paediatric non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.

Non-cystic fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis, the abnormal dilatation of bronchial airways, is a heterogeneous condition caused by a variety of lung insults and results in significant morbidity and mortality. Although frequently reported as being an uncommon respiratory disease in the developed world, its impact on the respiratory health of specific populations has recently received increased attention. There are limited data on which to base management strategies.
