@karen10225 Hi Karen. Have you had a recent sputum test looking for new infections? My coughing escalated to a chronic awful cough. When I finally had a new sputum test done, I had picked up Pseudomonas. It might be worthwhile to request a new testing on your sputum if this is getting worse. Good luck. Kate

Hi Kate. Thanks for the reply. I have my sputum test and CT scan set up for next month so I will see then if anything has significantly changed. I just wish the sputum results didn’t take so long!! Good luck with your new diagnosis.
All the best,
Karen

How do we pick up Pseudomonas?
