Abstract

Children with chronic wet cough and without cystic fibrosis (non-CF) may suffer from chronic suppurative lung disease (CSLD) or bronchiectasis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) can be one of the offending microbes in these children. The present study aimed to describe the clinical course of children with the above two conditions who were infected with Pa.
