Azalea die back

Question

Hi
I have an azalea on which one section has started to die back (Brown branches / leaves fell off etc). The rest of the leaves have small white spits. Based on a few articles I read this seems like maybe some combination of ladybugs, and boring insects or fungus. Not sure.

I’ve attached photos. What should I do to save this Azalea? It is beautiful when healthy and was expensive!

Thanks
Sean
