Any CF adults NOT have bronchiectasis?
HI
My boyfriend was diagnosed this year (at 35), and he has some bronchiectasies. They are very mild though, that is why his x-rays are normal. They had to do a ct scan to diagnosed them. He has staph. aureus,sensitive, he never cultured pseudomona. Last culture he didn´t even culture staph, just "normal flora". He has normal lung funtion (Fev 95%).He usually has one or two bouts of bronchities per year. He started getting bronchitis 3-4 years ago, didn´t have any when he was younger.
Bonnie ,did you get an scan to make sure you don´t have any bronchiectasies? If you just have a few they may not be seen on a x-ray.
