@annagh @sueinmn Funny I was getting ready to start the same post about Bronchiectasis and Haemophilus influenzae. My yearly check-up at Mayo Jacksonville in early Dec. went well except my sputum sample was positive for Haemophilus (Negative for Mycobacteria). I was started on Amoxi/Clav and by the end of 10 day treatment my productive cough was completely gone, and still is as of today, keeping my fingers crossed as I had this cough and the same light brown sputum for for about 6 years. I have had multiple sputum samples over the last 3 years, none Pos for Haemophilus, a few positive for M. abscessus (no more than 2 colonies), the thinking by the doctors was that M. abscessus was not a "major player" with my productive cough and it was just due to the inflammatory process from the bronchiectasis. Well the amazing way I have responded after the Amoxi/Clav makes me think my issue was Haemophilus all along. Sue, any comments? Bill
