@rstel7272 Sorry to hear about the fungal infection. Systemic or localized?
Did you repeat the culture just in case? What was your dose of Symbicort?

The article refers to injected steroid, which is different than inhaled steroids.

Steroid inhalers need monitoring especially with asthma. I wish there was some concrete way of figuring out the correct dose in the bronchiectasis/asthma world. Not too much not too little. I have less mucus with more inhaled steroid, and more mucus with less steroid, quite a trade off. Less mucus feels better but long term low dose steroids can have several negative effects so it's wise to be cautious.
