Is MAC D inevitable with bronchiectasis

Watchful waiting and airway clearance if you do not have symptoms that warrant treatment in the case of MAC may be different than Pseudomonas. Based on my own experience I would advise anyone who gets a sputum result of Pseudomonas to thoroughly treat it right away no matter what. If treated early on you stand a chance of eradication. You do not want to end up with chronic Pseudomonas.

I agree! When I was first diagnosed, I had both and the Pseudomonas was treated first and aggressively before treatment for MAC even started. It took over 2 month, but it hasn't been back.
