Did you have both MAC and MAB? MAC is Mycobacterium Avium Complex and MAB is Mycobacterium Abscessus Complex. I have had 4 negative MABC cultures over the course of 3 months, and a new nodule was noted on my CT scan, last week. So, who knows what that is-just hoping it's not the MABC. I sure hope your negatives continue, sending prayers your way.

Was diagnosed with both my bronchoscopy 12/22. After 8 weeks of treatment for Abscessus it never showed up in sputum again.
I have cavities that are very slow to improve. Last 4 cultures negative for AFB
