“…Chronic wet cough might be the only symptoms present in children with mild bronchiectasis, but history of exertional dyspnea, recurrent wheezing poorly responsive to asthma treatment or recurrent lower respiratory tract infections, hemoptysis, digital clubbing, and/or chest wall deformity also increase the likelihood of underlying bronchiectasis [ 27 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ]. Some children might have crackles on auscultation [ 32 ] or a history of wheeze or asthma-like symptoms [ 32 ], but asthma itself does not cause chronic wet cough or bronchiectasis [ 7 ].…”

Chronic cough in children is a common condition for which patients seek medical attention, and there are many etiologies. Of the various causes of chronic cough in children, protracted bacterial bronchitis (PBB) is one of the commonest causes, and bronchiectasis is one of the most serious. Together, they lie on different ends of the spectrum of chronic wet cough in children. Cough is often the only symptom present in children with PBB and bronchiectasis. This review highlights the role of cough as a marker for the presence of these conditions, as well as an outcome endpoint for treatment and research.

“…The destructive effect of chronic airway infections is described as the “vicious cycle theory” by Cole [7]. It describes how damaged airways become susceptible to chronic colonization, which merges into an inflammatory condition, which further results in injury and reduced resistance to infection (Figure I).…”

Bronchiectasis refers to the permanent dilation of the bronchi. It is often a sequel of insufficiently treated lung disease that develops into a pathological pattern of dilated bronchi, which heightens susceptibility to further lung infections. Modernization of diagnostic procedures (computed tomography scan) and definition of a clinical picture (repeated lung infections with a chronic cough and persistent sputum production) have raised international awareness of the prevalence of the disease, leading to increasing interest in reviewing and renewing the treatment guidelines.We selectively conducted a research on PubMed using the following keywords: “bronchiectasis”, “diagnosis”, “treatment”, “management”, “antibiotics”. This review focuses solely on bronchiectasis not due to cystic fibrosis. All relevant articles published after the year of 2000 were included.The aim of this review is to provide an analytical update on the management of bronchiectasis, focusing on etiological factors as well as existing and developing treatment options for the disease.
