title: [Bronchiectases; clinical aspects, diagnosis and treatment].
abstract: Localised bronchiectasis was diagnosed in three immigrants, a male aged 16 and two females aged 45 and 20 years old. The symptoms were productive coughing (purulent discharge) and (or) haemoptysis. All recovered after surgical resection of the diseased lung parts. With the growing population of immigrants in the Netherlands it is of great importance to consider the presence of localised bronchiectasis in patients from this population who present with a persistent or recurrent bronchopneumonia.
