Summary: | ABSTRACTBronchiectasis is a type of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, defined as permanent abnormal dilation of bronchi due to vicious cycle of transmuralinfection and inflammation. Bronchiectasis is generally characterized by cough, wheeze, and dyspnea. Pathogens responsible for bronchiectasisinclude pathogens Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and nontuberculousmycobacteria. Empirical antibiotic therapy and other drugs are used empirically in the management of bronchiectasis.Here, we discuss a case ofinfectious exacerbation of bronchiectasis successfully treated with an empirical use of ceftriaxone/sulbactam/disodium edetate-1034.Keywords: Bronchiectasis, Elores™, Ceftriaxone/sulbactam/disodium edetate-1034, Disodium edetate, Antibiotic resistance. |
