Bronchiectasis: 111
About This Book
Once considered an orphan condition, bronchiectasis is now recognised as a common and actionable chronic respiratory disease with an expanding clinical and research community. The European Respiratory Society (ERS) has taken the lead in this area by supporting the European Multicentre Audit and Research Collaboration (EMBARC), a project that has done much to help understanding of bronchiectasis. In this Monograph, key leaders of EMBARC, James D. Chalmers, Amelia Shoemark and Stefano Alberti, have brought together comprehensive and authoritative chapters covering epidemiology, imaging, current management advice, future therapeutic options, and the challenges to come. This Monograph will provide clinicians, researchers and allied health professionals with the knowledge and tools required to improve the quality of life of people living with bronchiectasis.
