Our Approach

Working closely with microbiology, infectious disease, thoracic surgery, pharmacy, and other colleagues at Yale, Dr. Losier uses a streamlined approach to acquire diagnoses and develop optimal treatment regimens, which often require extended periods of complex antibiotic regimens with multiple antibiotics.

Dr. Losier and her colleagues counsel patients regarding multi-tiered approaches to addressing NTM infections. In addition to taking antibiotics, patients can focus on enhancing airway clearance, nutrition, and other aspects that minimize their cough. Dr. Losier’s team also addresses patients’ reactions to antibiotics, or side effects. These facets combined help to increase the chances of successful treatment.

The goal of Dr. Losier and her team is to help patients with NTM infections gain access to new diagnostic techniques, therapies, and education that improve day-to-day living and quality of life.
