| dc.description.abstract | Objective: To describe clinical profile, etiology and outcome in children with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis. Methods: A chart review of children diagnosed with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, attending pediatric chest clinic of tertiary care hospital. Results: The underlying cause was identified in 51 (63.8%) out of 80 children (mean age, 9.6 y). Common causes were post-infectious in 19 (23.8%), suspected primary ciliary dyskinesia in 12 (15%), and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis in 6 (7.5%). One or more complications were observed in 76 (95%) patients; 14 (17.5%) children required surgery and 5 (11.1%) children died. Conclusions: Common causes of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis are post infectious and primary ciliary dyskinesia. There is a need to create awareness about early diagnosis of bronchiectasis as it is often delayed. | en_US |
