This paper discusses the clinical history of a Finnish person from the area north of the Arctic Circle with childhood-onset bronchiectasis. It covers a period of 30 years and is aimed at analysing the significance of the disease for the use of hospital services. Childhood bronchiectasis is a rare disease nowadays and difficult to diagnose, but it still leads to serious disability in some children, requiring regular hospitalisation. The prognosis for these cases with advancing age is not known.
