Cavern Bronchiectatic

Caverns are inflammatory cavities filled with pus or blood. This happens with pneumonia, angiitis (inflammation of blood vessels) and other diseases. But a cavity may appear as a result of a different process. For example, with gangrene, lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis or due to a defect in the lung.

Cavities are formed due to staphylococcal infection. This occurs especially often in patients with bronchiectasis, which is characterized by chronic inflammation and irreversible changes in the walls of the bronchi. As a result, air cavities are formed in the lung tissue and pulmonary lining. This leads to disruption of gas exchange in the lungs and a deterioration in the patient’s general condition.

Bronchiectasis can occur after pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma, or lung damage. The disease is most often diagnosed in smokers and production workers.

Signs of bronchiectasis: Increased fatigue and weakness. Restless sleep due to coughing attacks at night. Wearisome cough. Dry and wet cough, worsening after hypothermia. Frequent bronchitis, flu. Blood in sputum. Sneezing with mucus. Normal body temperature. Coarse crepitus in the basal part of the lungs. Stable respiratory rate.
