Across
- 5. Experiencing multiple distinct respiratory infection episodes within a single year
- 7. Hair-like epithelial projections damaged by viral toxins leading to impaired mucociliary clearance
- 12. Common psychological comorbidity triggered by recurrent acute dyspnoeic episodes
- 14. Increased airway reactivity and bronchospasm triggered by mild stimuli post-infection
- 15. Non-organic breathlessness or hyperventilation driven by acute health anxiety
- 17. Surgical intervention for severe recurrent pharyngitis meeting the Paradise criteria
- 18. Childhood bacterial infection causing severe cough that can lead to structural bronchiectasis
- 20. Recurrent acute middle ear infection defined as three or more episodes in six months
Down
- 1. Micro-entry of foreign material into lower airways leading to recurrent anatomical pneumonias
- 2. Post-infectious bronchiolitis type describing severe small airway fibrosis and luminal occlusion
- 3. Permanent abnormal dilation of the bronchi caused by chronic infection and severe tissue destruction
- 4. Workplace exposure that accelerates post-infectious airway remodeling and decline
- 6. Social consequence of chronic post-infectious sputum production and oxygen dependence
- 8. Structural changes in airway architecture like goblet cell hyperplasia following chronic infection
- 9. Acute pediatric viral infection affecting the subglottis leading to upper airway narrowing
- 10. Excessive parenchymal scarring and stiffening of lung tissue following severe pulmonary infection
- 11. Concordance with daily chest physiotherapy and inhaled therapy influenced by social support
- 13. Transformation of ciliated columnar epithelium into stratified squamous tissue due to chronic irritation
- 16. Underlying primary or secondary immune impairment causing abnormally frequent infections
- 19. High-pitched inspiratory sound indicating persistent upper airway narrowing at the subglottic level
