Declined clofazimine and you did just fine. Again, we also have to be a big part of the decision making for ourselves.
Sorry I again read the other post and now have this question.
Did you mean they said they wouldn't treat the apergillus but yes they will treat the MAC and just with the antibiotics for treating MAC...... it took care of both MAC and apergillus?

Barbara, I don't know, and I rather doubt, that the MAC meds treated the aspergillus infection. Maybe the doctors didn't treat it because it wasn't very severe or because they wanted to treat the MAC first or something else, who knows? I see my local ID doc in a month and I'll ask him to clarify.
I don't know how common it is to have the fungal and the MAC infection concurrently, but I certainly did.

Aspergillosis is easier to treat and cure than MAC. MAC and Aspergillosis are treated with different meds. I have never heard of having MAC and aspergillosis at the same time. Irene5
