Persistent airway inflammation is an important pathogenetic factor in bronchiectasis, and interleukin (IL)-6 is among the mediators implicated in regulation of inflammation in bronchiectatic airways. We postulated that airway secretion with its constituents of cytokines and enzymes would provide an environment for perpetuation of inflammation in vivo. We aimed to determine the action of sputum from...
