I was diagnosed wit a Mac infection (avium complex ). Had a cat scan and broncoscopy 4 months ago. The area was 1.5 centimeters in the right lung. Several days ago the cat scan was repeated and the area is smaller. I am not having any symptoms and the doctor said To come back in 1year for repeat cat scan. As. Far as treatment of drugs only if I have symptoms of the MAC. I feel that it should be done I less than a year . What is your opinion?
Hello, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I suggest you that if you have infection with MAC or Mycobacterium Album complex infection it is very sensitive than the standard Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Treatment for Mycobacterium Album complex is short, and it will get treated earlier than Mycobacterium tuberculosis. I will be happy to answer your further concerned can contact me. Chat Doctor. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
