What kind of test did they do to find out it was fungus infection? I ask this because I have copd and have been on antibiotics and prednisone for over a month and nothing as worked. They want to do a scope of my lungs to see what might be fungus growing

Cathy - either a sputum culture, if you produce sputum, or a bronchoscope can be used to find and assess the fungus.
