My simple understanding is that bronchiecstasis is an enlargement (kind of like scar tissue) in the airways in the lungs. For me, the best I can guess is that it is from pneumonia.

MAC is a bacteria that finds a nice comfy place to settle in the enlarged airway so that it can grow and wreak havoc on your lungs and your life.

Thanks Kathy for your reply. I did have pneumonia and I have heard that, at the least pneumonia can be a contributor to bronchiectasis.
