In 41 males, only 10 (15.63%) cases with bronchiectasis having prevalence 2.53 where as in out of 23 females, 9 (14.06%) with bronchiectasis showing the prevalence 6.62. It is observed COPD patients with bronchiectasis the prevalence is higher in female. Total 64 patients of COPD only 19 patients are with bronchiectasis, prevalence of bronchiectasis in our study was 29.69%.Conclusion- In COPD patients due to frequent exacerbations, recurrent infections, smoke, toxic fumes and previous history of tuberculosis, leads to increased dilation of bronchus and this develop bronchiectasis.
