Infections, autoimmunity and immunodeficiencies are the leading etiologies of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis in adults from the southwest of Colombia.
The etiologies of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis in Colombia are diverse, exhibiting notable differences from other global regions. Serum immunoglobulin levels and clinical immunologist consultation should be prioritized in diagnosing patients with unclear bronchiectasis etiology, particularly those with recurrent sinopulmonary infections.
