I 'converted my Abscessus (whatever that means) after two months of IV therapy in the Spring of 2023
Now it is back. I return to UT East Texas the first week of May. I do nebulizer breathing treatments w/ sodium chloride and various airway clearance methods 2X/daily. I also have Bronchiectasis.

Hi Nancy, I'm curious how you are doing? I was at NJH last week and Dr Haas told me the recurrence/reinfection rate for Abscessus is 50%. I am currently waiting on my 3rd 30-day consecutive culture result, to determine "culture conversion". Hearing there is a 50% chance of it coming back is disheartening.
