Background: Bronchiectasis has high rates of hemoptysis and recurrent hemoptysis, which is inconsistent among various etiologies. Idiopathic bronchiectasis and post-tuberculous bronchiectasis are two important etiologies in China, but the differences in clinical features and risk factors of recurrent hemoptysis have not been elucidated.

Methods: Patients hospitalized for idiopathic bronchiectasis or post-tuberculosis bronchiectasis were included. Patients were followed up for at least 24 months post-BAE. Demographic characteristics and clinical data were collected and analyzed between idiopathic bronchiectasis and post-tuberculosis bronchiectasis. Based on the outcomes of recurrent severe hemoptysis in patients with post-tuberculosis bronchiectasis, Cox regression models were used to identify risk factors for recurrence.

Results: Among 417 patients including 352 idiopathic bronchiectasis and 65 post-tuberculous bronchiectasis, 209 (50.1%) were females. Compared with the idiopathic group, the proportion of patients with female (54.5% vs. 26.2%, p < 0.001), with sputum (79.5% vs. 36.9%, p < 0.001), isolation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (28.7% vs. 7.7%, p < 0.001), and the number of bronchiectatic lobes≥ 3(98.3% vs 50.8%, p < 0.001) were lower, and the proportion of destroyed lung (4.5% vs. 26.6%, p < 0.001) and recurrence of severe hemoptysis (22.4% vs. 41.5%, p = 0.001) were higher in the post-tuberculous group. Among patients with post-tuberculosis bronchiectasis, destroyed lung [HR: 3.2(1.1,9.1), p = 0.026] and abnormal esophageal proper artery [HR: 2.8(1.1,7.0), p = 0.032] were two independent risk factors for the recurrence of hemoptysis.

Conclusions: The recurrence rate of severe hemoptysis in patients with post-tuberculous bronchiectasis receiving BAE is high, and the proper esophageal artery should be actively evaluated and standardized treatment should be given.

Background: Scedosporium species are considered emerging pathogens causing illness in immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts.

Case Report: A case of non-invasive pulmonary (fungal ball) infection by Scedosporium apiospermum complex in a 49-year-old female with bronchiectasis and cavities secondary to tuberculosis is described. The patient had a history of three years of cough and hemoptysis.

Recent bronchiectasis studies from large-scale multinational, multicentre registries have demonstrated that the characteristics of the disease vary according to geographic region. However, most perspectives on bronchiectasis are dominated by data from Western countries. This review intends to provide an Asian perspective on the disease, focusing on the established registries in India, Korea and China.

Article Synopsis
  • PTLD is a major health issue in areas where tuberculosis is common, resulting from lung damage after TB treatment and leading to various complications like chronic cough and infections.
  • Diagnosis relies on imaging, lung function tests, and patient history to differentiate PTLD from other respiratory illnesses.
  • Effective management includes medications, rehabilitation, surgical options for some, and emphasizes the need for TB prevention and early detection to lessen PTLD's impact on public health.

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation improves dyspnea, functional limitation and quality of life in patients with chronic respiratory disease especially Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Whether Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) will have similar effect in patients with post-tuberculosis sequelae or not and whether the two morphological variants will respond similarly or not was the purpose of our study.

Methods: Adult patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria of a diagnosis of post-tuberculosis sequelae with functional limitation (modified medical research council [mMRC] grade 1 or more) were recruited over a period of two years.
