#FlashbackFriday! Ambulatory TB patients were treated with special racks designed for postural drainage. This therapy was implemented several times a day with the patient coughing up infected sputum, ostensibly deposited in the sanitary basin supplied.
Patients suffering from the following should be screened for bronchiectasis:
- Long-term productive cough
- Recurring chest infections
- Frequent exacerbations requiring antibiotics, i.e., recurring pneumonia
- Frequent hospitalizations
