Case Presentation Our patient first presented at age 57 with chronic productive cough, shortness of breath, fever, weight loss and occasional wheezing. He is a non-smoker and has a daughter. [article.sapub.org]

Large airway rhonchi are present in 44% (low-pitched snore-like sounds) [ 1 ]. Wheeze may be present in 34%. Clubbing is found infrequently. All causes of bronchiectasis should be considered and assessed as appropriate. [patient.info]

• Collapse

  She suggested that duration of cough and pulmonary symptoms was commonly of three months duration or less in children with reversible bronchiectasis and pulmonary collapse which reexpanded. [hawaii.edu]

  Other important respiratory complications include allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, pneumothorax (which carries a bad prognosis because of associated severe lung disease), massive haemoptysis, and lung or lobar collapse. [erswhitebook.org]

  X-Ray chest was suggestive of (R) sided collapse consolidation with cystic bronchiectasis (Picture 1-Röntgen of lungs). [tmg.org.rs]

  The affected airways are inflamed and easily collapse. There is an impairment of airflow and drainage of secretions, leading to the accumulation of a large amount of mucus in the lungs. [patient.info]

  What is chronic pulmonary hypertension and how do we evaluate it? Chronic pulmonary hypertension is an increase in the blood pressure of the blood vessels of the lungs. [ssa.gov]

  Another more unusual gastrointestinal complication is biliary cirrhosis leading to portal hypertension. As patients survive longer, systemic complications become more prominent. [erswhitebook.org]

Despite prior optimal treatment according to recommended practice guidelines [7], her lung function declined significantly in the two months prior to treatment. [elynsgroup.com]

Because of improved treatment and life expectancy, about 54% of patients in the US with CF are adults. Resources In This Article Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Cystic Fibrosis [msdmanuals.com]

This case report also shows that despite the longstanding nature of the disease the sequelae of CF can be ameliorated, including the improvement in FEV1 and weight which will improve prognosis in CF [8,9]. [elynsgroup.com]
