Distinct “Immunoallertypes” of Disease and High Frequencies of Sensitization in Non–Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis

Abstract

Allergic sensitization occurs at high frequency in patients with bronchiectasis recruited from different global centers. Improving endophenotyping of sensitized bronchiectasis, a clinically significant state, and a "treatable trait" permits therapeutic intervention in appropriate patients, and may allow improved stratification in future bronchiectasis research and clinical trials.
