What is Atypical Mycobacterial Infections (MAI)?

Atypical Mycobacterial Infections (also called Mycobacterium Avium Complex, or MAC) are caused by bacteria commonly found in soil and water. These infections mainly affect individuals with underlying lung disease or weakened immune systems.

Diagnosis:

MAI is diagnosed through sputum cultures, imaging studies such as CT scans, and lab testing to identify the specific bacterial strain.

Treatment:

Treatment usually requires a combination of antibiotics over an extended period. Managing underlying conditions like COPD or bronchiectasis also helps prevent recurrence.
