Diagnosing and preventing chronic suppurative lung disease (CSLD) and bronchiectasis()	2010-12-04		.txt	text/plain	5448	331	43	8, 9 In this paper, we discuss the limitations of current diagnostic criteria, precursors of bronchiectasis and the evidence (albeit limited) on why children with protracted bronchitis, suppurative lung disease and bronchiectasis require vigilant medical follow-up and appropriate therapies. Prior to the 'diagnosis' of 'idiopathic bronchiectasis' being made on the basis of a HRCT scan, the patient (children and adults) may have been labelled as having recurrent viral infections, asthma, and/or chronic bronchitis. A study from Scotland 45 described that respiratory disease in early life was associated with a higher risk in adulthood of chronic productive cough, dyspnoea and doctor diagnosis of asthma, bronchitis or emphysema (adjusted odds ratios ranging from 1.40 to 6.95 for these outcomes). Despite the known importance of exacerbations in most chronic respiratory diseases (e.g. asthma, 62,73 COPD 74 ) data are scarce for the triggers, definitions, associated clinical features and evidence for treatment of bronchiectasis in both children and adults.	./cache/cord-258362-6qk2brax.txt	./txt/cord-258362-6qk2brax.txt
