Open full text 0 citations

Abstract

ABSTRACT Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung disease, defined pathologically as irreversible dilatation of the bronchi. There is ineffective clearance of pulmonary secretions because of damage to the cilia. The nasal mucociliary clearance was studied using the saccharine method in 75 patients of bronchiectasis and the results were compared with those of 25 healthy controls. The nasal mucociliary clearance was significantly prolonged in patients with bronchiectasis. How to cite this article Yadav J, Ranga RK, Goel AK, Gupta KB. Mucociliary Clearance in Bronchiectasis.
