I have a mild case of bronchiectasis and sputum culture has shown MAI.
August 2023, I was diagnosed with mold induced hypersensitive pneumonitis. It was treated with several months of prednisone. Lungs responded well and pneumonitis is resolved. February 2024, I had Nocardiosis (nocardia bloomed in sputum culture) . Double dose of Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim for two months knocked it down. Sputum culture in July/August 2024 revealed MAI and thus the rotation of Sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim and doxycycline. I use a a PEP flutter for airway clearance. Breztri for asthma.
I am actually doing really well save for the gut issues .
I am treated by Dr. Yuh-Chin Huang and he is well known for treating these issues.
Is this the information that might be helpful?

My last culture shows Nocardia too. My doctor is not treating it yet but I'm scared. May I know when you say double dose, does it mean Bactrim DS (800Mg) twice a day? As for MAI, what is your dose for Bactrim and Doxy?
