@dantur I don't know if your doctor explained thoroughly, but this treatment can take a year or longer to cure the infection, so 3 months of treatment is very early days. It is typical to begin now to repeat the sputum culture tests every month or two to learn if the amount of bacteria is diminishing or is gone.

BPCO, called COPD in English, can leave one vulnerable to Mycobacteria infections.
The antibiotics treat the infection, does the doctor order anything to ease the BPCO symptoms?

@sueinmn Lunedì ho la visita al reparto infettivi e chiederò se ritengono sia il momento per ripetere la broncoscopia. Per la BPCO non mi hanno dato nessuna terapia, mi hanno detto di fare la fisioterapia respiratoria a casa (PEP). Cosa posso fare per migliorare?
