Might my anemia and lowered hemoglobin be related to MAC?

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.

Pseudomonas binds to iron. I know you are all too familiar with Pseudomonas. To date, as of yet, that has not been found in my sputum. With my next visit with the doctor my question will be about iron etc. with MAC since she did not contact me after the blood test results were showing poor results such as a problem that can be associated with iron.
