Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition where the bronchi become damaged and widened, often leading to recurrent infections in the lower part of the lung. Emphysema is a form of obstructive lung disease that involves damage to the air sacs in the lungs, but not necessarily the bronchi. Pneumoconiosis refers to the lung damage caused by breathing in dust or other types of environmental pollutants, while pulmonary tuberculosis is a specific bacterial infection of the lungs.
