Aspiration of Timothy grass in the airway is a well-recognized cause of bronc hiectasis, and management often requires pulmonary resection. The authors descri be 2 cases of Timothy grass aspiration with established pulmonary infection that were successfully managed by bronchoscopic removal with subsequent improvement. Every effort should be made to accomplish this goal, and pulmonary resection sh ould be considered a last resort in these cases.
