Further investigations showed congenital malformations in six (15\%), primary ciliary dyskinesia syndrome in seven (17\%), 11 had immunological abnormalities (27\%), and two bronchiectasis due to aspiration (5\%). Therefore the underlying cause for the disease was found in 63\%. Identification of predisposing causes may facilitate prevention of further bronchial damage.}, issn = {0003-9888}, URL = {https://adc.bmj.com/content/70/2/141}, eprint = {https://adc.bmj.com/content/70/2/141.full.pdf}, journal = {Archives of Disease in Childhood} }
