Zusammenfassung

Rationale: Exacerbations are relevant in bronchiectasis (BE) but little is known regarding microbiology and outcomes of pneumonic (CAP) vs. non-pneumonic (EXAC) exacerbations. Objective: To compare clinical and microbiological characteristics of CAP vs. EXAC in adult patients with BE. Methods: Multicentre prospective observational study of consecutive cases from 4 Spanish hospitals. Results: We recruited 144 patients: 91 EXAC (63%) and 53 CAP (37%); 89% required hospitalization (CAP 94%, EXAC 86%). Demographics, vaccines, bronchiectasis aetiology and severity, and lung function were similar in both groups. CAP g…
