Might my anemia and lowered hemoglobin be related to MAC?

Search up MAC and low iron/anemia. I don’t recall the site but did read about the body’s defense mechanism towards MAC. MAC thrives on iron and the body’s mechanism is to lower iron stores . If anyone else has more information on this, please share. I did have an iron infusion months ago and now am wondering if perhaps I should not have.

My pulmonologist (specializes) once told me that Pseudomonas binds to iron. I am still not sure what the implications of that are but he did say if I ever needed to take iron I could but only if I needed it and that an iron infusion could be dangerous or risky.
