If you have pseudomonas in thee lungs will you always be infectious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Pseudomonas is a very difficult bacteria to treat. You will need to be on antibiotics for an extended period of time and your condition should be monitored by a pulmonologist.If you have an underlying condition that predisposed you to get pseudomonas, that needs to be monitored also.
