Hi Sue, do doctors do a sputum test when diagnosed with bronchiectasis even if you don’t have any symptoms?

Hmm, I guess that would depend on the doc, the appearance of your lungs, and your history. My current ID & pulmo docs only test if you have symptoms, even though I have a history of MAC & pseudomonas. My daughter's doc tested because she had puzzling symptoms, but after a long wait determined no MAC or pseudo.
