In appearance Swyer James normally leaves shadowing in a CT scan in the upper lobar regions of one or (rarely) both lungs. Patients with the illness operate in much the same way as patients with mild bronchiectasis. As a result the illness can go undiagnosed for some time. With current developments in the pharmaceutical industry prognosis for suffers of the illness is good, sufferers can lead normally and healthy lives- particular attention must be paid to the new development of Erdosteine from Italy, which is becoming increasingly available across the world.
