Nebuliser query

Hi there, I’ve just started using a nebuliser for my amikacin antibiotic. While using it I noticed it was going on a bit long. Once I checked I noticed the chamber had some foam build up, clearly I hadn’t rinsed it well enough. That has mixed with the antibiotic.

Complicated kidney infection. Unexplained fever.

So far he has been on Meropenem (and now merobactum), PCM injections for fever relief, amikacin (restarted today), four doses of colistin in two days (suspected to cause higher fever than regular - 104° with chills and vomitting).

Non tuberculosis Microbacterium. NTM.

I am now on the last line of treatment taking inhaled amikacin as part of the therapy. The drugs are highly toxic and have all kinds of side effects that have to be managed or tolerated. I would be interested in finding out how many people have this rare disease.
