Good morning - I wonder if you are treated for absessus is it because they showed in your sputum respiratory culture or because you had serious symptoms? I hope your treatment works for you and you can tolerate it this time. My best thoughts for you and stay strong from day to day.

The Treatment of NTM is based on the sputum culture and CT if it is stable or progression .

My Abscessus did not show up in my sputum sample only by Bronchoscopy. My colony count is low and I have no symptoms so they are not treating yet. I still use Levalbuterol, nebulize Sodium Chloride 7% and use vest twice daily.
