Overview
The symptoms of bronchiectasis were discovered in the early 19th century. In 1950, using bronchography, bronchiectasis was discovered as a pathology.
Bronchiectasis Historical Perspective
- Rene Theophile Hyacinthe (a French physician who invented the stethoscope) wrote about the observation of suppurative phlegm in the early 19th century
- Jean Athanase Sicard introduced contrast bronchography in 1922. The detailed imaging showed inflammatory and destructive changes in the airway
- Lynne Reid linked the findings in bronchography to the pathology of bronchiectasis in 1950
- Most studies of the pathology of bronchiectasis were reported between 1930 and 1960 since there was access to large quantities of operative and postmortem lung specimens during this time[1]
- There are no well established animal models of bronchiectasis nor have there been studies performed in the early stages of the disease[1]
