Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Eosinophilic bronchiectasis is defined by a blood eosinophil count (BEC) ≥300 cells/µL, but blood eosinophils imperfectly reflect airway eosinophilic inflammation. Here, we investigated the relationship between eosinophilic airway inflammation, blood eosinophils and clinical severity in bronchiectasis and explored the phenotype associated with eosinophilic bronchiectasis. METHODS: Sputum from 180...
