Definition

Bronchiectasis with or without elevated sweat chloride-3 (BESC3) is characterized by dilation of the airways arising from chronic bronchial inflammation accompanied by chronic cough, purulent sputum, and recurrent lower respiratory tract infections. Most patients show some degree of airflow obstruction (Fajac et al., 2008). [from OMIM]
