Hi everyone hope your all ok today :-).
I had a cold 3 weeks ago & the infection went to my lungs & I started to cough up blood which is normal for me, I also coughed up a lump of tissue that was sent to the lab, when I got the results back I was told I have MRSA but they didn't say where. Has anyone else had MRSA due to Bronchiectasis? I have read on some sites you are more often to MRSA with Bronchiectasis & it can be ongoing & dangerous if in the lungs. Any feed back would be gratefully received :-)

If I hadn't of coughed the sample up I wouldn't of known I had MRSA again as I had no symptoms at all. From what I have read 1 out 3 people have MRSA & don't know they have it. The only way to find out if you have it is to have swabs of the nose, mouth, groin & under the arms sent for checking. There are loads of sites with info about MRSA & bronchiectasis like NHS choices, thoracic site & on here.
I would definitely go & see your go with the nose bleeds to be on the safe side Denise, better be safe than sorry. Main thing is don't panic or worry as it could be something easily sorted. Hope you get it sorted soon Denise, let me know how you get on plz.
Dave.

Please don't thank me tho Denise, I'm still new to bronchiectasis & I have learned a lot from other people on here & it's been a great help talking to them so they deserve the credit, if it wasn't for the other people on here who have so much knowledge about bronchiectasis & have passed it on for us all too read most of us would be lost. It's these that deserve the thanks Denise :-).
I really pleased that your finally getting the help you need & hope things start to improve for you. Take care Denise, stay strong & keep smiling :-).
