@kaybast It is crazy how our lungs become such a welcome environment for unwanted bacteria. At least when I had aspergillosis (forgot that one) that was easily treatable. However, the treatment was lengthy and required blood drawn for Vfend levels. (Voriconazole ). That is why nebulizing is so important. Irene5

Regarding your journey with BE and infections.
When did all the infection or BE symptoms start for you, irene5, irenea8.?
When were you diagnosed, when did the actual finding of the BE and or infections get diagnosed?
Which was found first...BE or infections?
Did you start out with a slow growing infection and with time the pseudomonas developed later?
I ask because of timing in terms of what was or was not known just a few years ago compared to what is now known in terms of the understandings and knowledge that has advanced in just the last few years.
With the little I have gathered since finding Mayo Clinic Connect, it appears much information and knowledge was not available just a decade ago, if not just a few years ago.
I think for some this history might be helpful for others to understand that are just coming on line, especially since we now have better information to be aware of that, hopefully, the new cases diagnosed find there way to via doctors and Mayo Connect.
What do you think?
