ABSTRACT
An association has been suggested between Marfan syndrome (MFS) and the nodular bronchiectatic form of lung disease caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). We evaluated the prevalence of bronchiectasis in 79 adult patients with MFS using computed tomography (CT) imaging. Airway dilation indicative of bronchiectasis (22/79, 28%) and bronchioloectasis (10/79, 13%) were relatively common, although the extent of dilation was not severe and was frequently confined to a single lobe. However, bronchiolitis was evident in only three patients (4%), and no patient was diagnosed with NTM lung disease.
