Overview
There is no routine screening for bronchiectasis. If the patient has an immune deficiency or primary ciliary dyskinesia then pulmonary function tests should be measures four times a year.
Bronchiectasis Screening
- There is no routine screening for bronchiectasis.
- If the patient has an immune deficiency or primary ciliary dyskinesia, the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and peak expiratory flow (PEF) should be measured four times a year.[1]
