That's really depressing since National Jewish Health is considered Top Dog in this field, Fortunately for me, I just learned Cleveland Clinic in Weston, Florida has a center dedicated to bronchiectasis and NTM so I have a good center two hours away by auto.

@picartist It is my understanding that people can have Bronchiectasis and not have an infection to start with. That might have been possible when NJH tested for infections.
However, my question would be that when someone goes to NJH to understand ones health and no infection showing, do they suggest and request that person to send in sputum every so often.??? I wonder??

@picartist Have you gone there yet? I’m making an appointment for a relative and hopefully will not have too much of a wait. She Ed just diagnosed with a cavitary lesion and MAb. Mayo is about 3 hours away.
