title: [Changes in etiologic factors, anatomic distribution and age in children with bronchiectasis].
abstract: Changing aetiology, anatomic distribution and age of 62 children with bronchiectasis undergoing lobectomy between 1979 and 1987, were analysed. Postpneumonic bronchiectases were found in about 50% of cases during several years of observed 9-years' period. There was significant increase of bronchiectasis due to the documented congenital malformations of the lungs according to the exact diagnosis of intrapulmonary congenital lesions (congenital cystic disease of the lungs, bronchial and vascular abnormalities). Bronchiectases have been diagnosed and surgically treated in very young children lately; mean age at the time of surgery decreased from 7.1 years in 1979. to 5.2 years in 1987.
