3. Informed consent was obtained from patient before enrollment.

Exclusion criteria: The patients with exacerbation of bronchiectasis had been excluded according to a protocol-defined exacerbation (PDE) which O'Donnell et al set down. The PDE was prospectively defined as abnormalities in four of the following nine symptoms, signs, or laboratory findings:

6. decreased exercise tolerance, malaise, fatigue, or lethargy;
7. forced expiratory volume in 1 second or forced vital capacity decreased 10% from a previously recorded value;
8. radiographic changes indicative of a new pulmonary process; or
9. changes in chest sounds. Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF), who had documented clinical, radiologic, genotypic features and abnormal sweat test results (sweat sodium and chloride >60mmol/L) [14], had been excluded. Patients who were allergic to macrolides and patients with impaired hepatic disease or diabetes mellitus had also been excluded.
