MAC is usually disseminated throughout many parts of the body but most commonly it infects the blood, lymph glands, bowel and lungs. The symptoms of MAC can include weight loss, fever, chills, anemia (low red blood cells), abdominal pain, diarrhea, severe night sweats, and loss of appetite. MAC bacteria are found in air, water, soil, foods, some tobacco products, and in many animals. Most people have already been exposed to them."xsd:string |
