Bronchiectasis reversal in children - is it possible? 

• The traditional definition of bronchiectasis is that it is irreversible; however, in children and even in adults, airway dilatation may sometimes reverse.

• Although unproven, it is likely that early, aggressive treatment of airway dilatation is more effective when initiated in the early stages.

• Regardless of whether airway dilatation is present, chronic airway neutrophilic inflammation and infection should be treated aggressively to minimize the risk of disease progression.

Eosinophilic inflammation in bronchiectasis: more than just blood eosinophil count

• As the aetiologies of bronchiectasis are variable, the inflammation in bronchiectatic airways is also variable.

• About 20% of patients with bronchiectasis have eosinophilic inflammation.

• Blood eosinophil count is an imperfect marker, so alternative ways of identifying individuals with eosinophilic inflammation are needed.

• Therapies targeted at eosinophilic inflammation may benefit this subset of patients.
