MAC/Bronchiectasis are not airborne contagions in either direction...if you have something else that might be, ask your doc...

Hi unicorn. My daughters, both nurses, one in an ER, and my doc have assured me there is no risk of transmission to my little grandkids. The only restriction my doc gave me was to stay away from my transplant patient cousin until I have 2 clean sputum cultures. That's because he is immunosuppressed. In fact, I am far more likely to catch a virus or infection from one of them.
