Q

Difference between emphysema and bronchiectasis

A

Emphysema has irreversible destruction of air spaces DISTAL to terminal bronchioles while bronchiectasis has destruction of smooth muscle and elastis tissue by chronic necrotizing infections leading to permanent dilation of BRONCHI AND BRONCHIOLES; emphysema less sputum, bronchiectasis more sputum
