Abstract

PURPOSE: It is believed that among patients with bronchiectasis (B), patients with reduced body weight have a more severe course. However, data on the characteristics of the phenotype with increased body weight are not enough today, while obesity has been shown to aggravate other respiratory diseases. The study aimed to determine if there are some features of sputum culture in overweight patients with B. METHODS: 71 stable patients with confirmed B by HRCT were included to the study. Microbiological detection of sputum samples was conducted by conventional bacteriological methods. Weight was measured by "Body composition monitor Omron BF511" for the static weighing and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. RESULTS: The median age was 57 (39;64), 23 were men (32.4%).
