Moraxella Catarrhalis in sputum

Hi all

I hope you had a good Christmas. The weather is certainly lovely here in East Anglia which is nice to see and feel like spring is on its way.

Before Christmas I was experiencing lots of chest infections and antibiotics not really doing much.

Decided to do a sputum as cough remained which for me is a sure sign that things aren't right. I'm glad I did as found to have his bug lurking down there!!

So my advice for anyone having constant symptoms.....do a sample.....at least now I'm on the right antibiotics and cough/chest symptoms now much much better,

Regards

HC
