The mucus clogs the tiny air passages in the lungs and traps bacteria. Repeated infections and blockages can cause irreversible lung damage and a shortened life. The pancreas is also affected, this prevents the release of enzymes which are needed to digest food. This means that people with CF can have problems with nutrition.
Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a relatively rare condition that affects the Lungs. In this disorder the bronchial tubes become enlarged and distended forming pockets where infection may gather. The walls themselves are damaged which results in impairment to the lung's complex cleaning system.

When this cleaning system is not working effectively dust, mucus, bacteria accumulate and there is Infection of the lungs develops.
