Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. If your cultures are positive for MAC, your signs and symptoms suggest a variant of the Lady Windermere Syndrome.
2. Get your Chest CT Scan reviewed. The changes are subtle and may be missed.
3. There are many antibiotics that can be used. If you are allergic to Zithromax, request a change. The recommended duration of treatment is more than a year and up to two years. Red-green color blindness is an early sign of Ethambutol toxicity, The visual defects can be avoided and may be reversible on early discontinuation of the drug. Monitoring is important in long term therapy.
4. Multi-nodular thyroid is common and nutritional deficiencies can be easily supplemented.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
