The phrase "abnormal breath" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in medical or health-related contexts to describe breathing that is not typical or expected.
Example: "The patient exhibited signs of abnormal breath, which prompted further examination by the doctor."
Alternatives: "irregular breathing" or "atypical respiration."

Signs and symptoms vary based on the location and severity of the injury; they commonly include dyspnea (difficulty breathing), dysphonia (a condition where the voice can be hoarse, weak, or excessively breathy), coughing, and abnormal breath sounds.
Other clinical factors, including dyspnea, hypoxemia, tachypnea, and abnormal breath sounds were neither sensitive nor specific for TB.
