Target Audience and Goal Statement

This activity is intended for pulmonary, infectious diseases, radiology, and primary care clinicians who manage patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE).

Clinicians will learn about the important role of neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs) in NCFBE pathophysiology, including emerging therapies that target neutrophilic inflammation. An experienced patient with NCFBE shares her difficult diagnostic and therapeutic journey and provides impactful insights for clinical care.

 

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: 

  • Apply current criteria for diagnosing non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFBE)

  • Employ current management strategies for the treatment of patients with NCFBE

  • Examine the role of neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs) in the pathophysiology of NCFBE
