Abstract
We studied a man with bronchiectasis, chronic sinopulmonary infections and obstructive azoospermia diagnosed of Young's syndrome in the adult age. The patient was treated at home by a mechanical system of respiratory care based in intrapulmonary percussive ventilation (Percussionaire) reaching a significant clinical and functional improvement. Our case enhanced the importance to make a proper history of fertility in patients with bronchiectasis in order to establish the diagnostic. We review different methods of respiratory mechanical assistance in patients with bronchiectasis.
