Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE) is a progressive pulmonary condition that leads to bronchial wall damage causing permanent airway dilation, which is primarily due to neutrophil-driven inflammation stemming from chronic or recurrent infection. In patients with bronchiectasis, symptoms such as persistent cough, dyspnea, excessive sputum production, and recurrent pulmonary infections can worsen the disease and lead to impaired quality of life.
This CME satellite symposium, presented by National Jewish Health and the Respiratory Institutes, will focus on assessment of NCFBE and approaches to reduce delay in diagnosis. Attendees will become more adept at assessing patients’ natural history, clinical course, and disease progression and gain a deeper understanding of the role of neutrophilic inflammation and neutrophil serine protease inflammation (NSP) in NCFBE. Lastly, this session will explore current and emerging therapies to optimize clinical outcomes in patients with NCFBE.
Target Audience:
Pulmonologists who treat patients with bronchiectasis.
