Do most labs tell the species/subspecies and the number of colonies?

Hello. Yes, the UT Health Science Center in Tyler TX does. They have an advanced research lab. I went there after I got very little information and no guidance from my local pulmonologist. The local even denied me saline nebulizing and dragged their feet in sending my records for referral. UT ended up having to retest for everything. I encourage you to look for a center of excellence to be properly diagnosed. If that is not possible, call around to the infectious disease specialists and pulmonologists in your area to find a more local doctor familiar with MAC to get advice on the best location near you for thorough evaluation.

I have precisely the same situation with my current pulmonologist here!

I made a tele appt with Dr Johnson at Mayo and she prescribed the sodium chloride and explained using it twice a day.

I am scheduled to go to Mayo in Jacksonville in November but have found a local friend with this who went to National Jewish and has been advising that they are the best.

I will look into UT this morning! Thank you so much!

Hello again! I’m wondering how you feel about the care you received from UT and if you feel they are as good as NJH in Denver?

I am in S Florida and I’ve got Mayo or UF in state but am thinking my best option is UT or NJH.
Thank you for your time I really appreciate it!!
