    There are a number of factors that can trigger an exacerbation of bronchiectasis, such as viral infections and bacterial overgrowth.1 And with each exacerbation, a patient is at risk for further disease progression.2 Learn more about the causes and impacts of bronchiectasis exacerbations with Drs. Colin Swenson and Joseph Khabbaza. Dr. Swenson is the Section Chief of Pulmonary and Critical Care as well as the Director of the NCFB/NTM Program at Emory Healthcare, and Dr. Khabbaza is the Director of the Bronchiectasis Program at Cleveland Clinic.
