The Relationship Between Peripheral Eosinophilia, Lower Respiratory Tract Pathogens, Age at First Pneumonia, and Malnutrition in Children with Non-cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis
Non-CF bronchiectasis in childhood may be preventable and/or non-progressive when diagnosed early. Clinical features such as malnutrition, eosinophilia, PA isolation, and early-onset pneumonia may help identify children who could benefit from closer clinical monitoring. Further pediatric studies are needed to validate these associations.
