Is "tree in bud " nodularity serious?

Yes, "ground glass opacities" are often seen during and after bouts of pneumonia and other lung illnesses. Sometimes they disappear as the infection subsides, other times it takes a while. Or if the infection or illness becomes chronic the GGO may stay.
When I had MAC and Pseudomonas at the same time, my lungs were full of GGO plus nodules, possible cavities... ow 5 years later, I still have Bronchiectasis, a few small nodules and some scar tissue. No GGO on the last CT 9 months ago.
So all of these signs can come and go.

Sue,
This is a personal question. Did you take the big 3. I have Bronchiectasis, MAI, and Kansaii. The Mai did not show up in the last sputum extended 4 week growth test. I will not take the big 3. I have wet macular degeneration in one eye and my hearing loss requires me to wear hearing aides.
Thank you for your continued support and compassionate uplifting responses. You have taken me off the cliff. Several times.❤️

Sue what are the symptoms of bronchiectasis? I'm going to NJH at end of June. I don't have any symptoms.....but I nebulize 7% saline twice a day. I thought I remember my pulmonary locally say I don't have Bronchiectasis......just MAI/ I guess NJH will get to the facts. Thanks. Bon
