Has anyone ever been cured of MAC?

Has anyone ever been cured of MAC? Or even for at least 20 plus years?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

@lmh7 Hi. It is called 'conversion' when a mac patient gets 'cured'. I hope someone who has had mac and it was gone for many years; will jump in and share it with us. I have been free of MAC for five yrs. I did, however, contract a pseudomonas infection in 2016 and that was quickly irradicated. I am staying infection free by taking low doses of monthly antibiotics. Because most of us have bronchiectasis as well; we tend to be prone to catching these bugs. Have you read about how to avoid re-infection?

@windwalker Hi Terri, Would you mind sharing which antibiotic you are on for pseudomonas? Thanks!
