Bronchiectasis Historical Perspective
- Rene Theophile Hyacinthe 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 as there was access to significant quantities of operative and postmortem lung specimens at 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]
