Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

MAC in humans: Try search terms Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium avium intracellulare, atypical tuberculosis, and/or MAC infection (or any of these terms plus HIV or AIDS). Or visit a public medical literature resource like PubMed, operated by the (US) National Library of Medicine. Good luck!
