What’s the youngest person to have MAC?

I suspect I probably have BE. I had recurrent bouts of bronchitis as a teenager that all but stopped in my 20’s and 30’s. It wasn’t until Covid that I had a true chest infection since then. Last December before my symptoms started I tested positive for Covid and influenza at the same time. In my mind maybe I had MAC and it was just colonized asymptomatic, then the covid flu combo caused my immune system to lose control of it?

@vegita182 there is a support group for those with BE/NTM under 50-ish. I could be a good additional resource for you. Check out the link for a calendar of support group meetings, and scroll to the one for under 50-ish. It looks like it is once a month.
