ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Mycobacterial avium complex (MAC) is one of the non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) that is known to cause pulmonary disease (PD). MAC PD is diagnosed by fulfilling all of the following presence of respiratory symptoms, imaging studies compatible with pulmonary disease, and isolation of the mycobacterium from either sputum or bronchial wash in symptomatic patients (isolation of at least two sputum specimens or at least one bronchial wash specimen). A mutation in the solute carrier family 11, member 1 (SLC11A1) gene has been associated with Mycobacteria infections, including MAC. Herein, we present a case of a young female diagnosed with pulmonary MAC who was found later to have an SLC11A1 genetic mutation.
