It seems that quite a few people have elevated sweat tests that have Bronchiectasis and or MAC. That must be indicative of something!

I had the same thought. Obviously the experiences of those on this forum wouldn't constitute a scientific study, but the incidence of those who have responded having false positives seems pretty high for such a small population of those who are speaking up on the subject which might be attributable to interest because of the false positives. I only recall seeing one other person on this forum mention that he (I believe it was a he) ended up being positive with the genetic testing. Again, we cannot extrapolate any conclusions, but it would be interesting to find out what is behind it.

I have both and during my recent testing at NJH, I tested negative on the sweat tests.
