Inhaled non-steroid anti-inflammatories for children and adults with bronchiectasis.

Chronic neutrophilic inflammation, both in the presence and absence of infection, is a feature of bronchiectasis in adults and children. The anti-inflammatory properties of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may be beneficial in reducing airway inflammation and thus potentially improve lung function and quality of life in patients with bronchiectasis.
