I do not plan on going to NJH but my pulmonologist said I may want to test for an adult variant of CF.
Are sweat tests the initial steps of being tested for adult variant of CF? I have MAC and bronchietasis nodular, as well as recurring staph and pseudonomas lung infections . I am too young to retire so am trying to figure out next steps as my ID doc does not want to treat me for recurring lung infections unless I am sick with fever and chills for 3 days. I have been on the Big 3 for MAC in the past. Thank you for your help.

Sweat test are typically done first and it you have a high level then NJH recommends Genetic testing. I am waiting for my Genetic test results.
