Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Lung dance patients have lower immunity. So atypical bacterial, fungal and tubercular infections are very common in them. So better to consult pulmonologist and get done bronchoscopy and BAD (bronchoalveolar lavage) analysis. BAD culture and sensitivity report is must. Culture report will isolate the causative organism and sensitivity report will guide about effective antibiotic. By this we can reduce the cost and improve the outcome. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
