The infection and colonization of the respiratory tract contribute to increasing inflammation and further damage to the lung. Upon entry of pathogens into the respiratory tract by activation of epithelial cells, macrophages and dendritic cells. Inflamation cells secrete chemical mediators and they acctivated immune response and thus allow the phagocytosis of pathogens. Earlly diagnostic, appropriate treatment of and interrupting the vicious circle between infection and infalamacije in patients with bronchiectasis, contribution to prevention of structural changes of the airways.
