Some of the information is considered legacy and provided for form factor reference. Factors Factors are numbers you multiply to get another number. Factors break a number down Example: 3 and 4 are factors of 12 Multiples A multiple is a number that falls into the multiplication chart of a number example the multiples of 2 are 2, 4, 6, 8. Table of Factors and Multiples. Here are the factors (not including negatives), and some multiples, for 1 to 100.

There are 3 types of MAC infections.
- Pulmonary MAC infections - Affect the lungs and are the most common type. These mainly affect elderly women and people who already have lung disease.[2][3]
- Disseminated MAC infections - Have spread throughout the body. This type is usually seen in people with advanced AIDS.[1]
- MAC-associated lymphadenitis - Causes swelling of the lymph nodes (especially in the neck) and is the most common in young children who have normal immune systems.[3][4]
The symptoms of pulmonary MAC infection start slowly, get worse over time and may last for weeks to months. People with pulmonary MAC infections may experience cough, weight loss, fever, fatigue, and night sweats.[2]
Symptoms of disseminated MAC infection include: [1][4]
- Fever
- Sweating
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
- Diarrhea
- Shortness of breath
- Abdominal pain
- Anemia
There have been a few reports of families with more than one family member with a MAC infection. In these families, it is thought that there is a variation in a gene or genes involved with the body's immune response. A genetic variant in an immune system gene may make some people more likely to get sick from an infection than others. There are many genes involved in the human immune response, and there is no single gene known to be responsible for MAC infections.[3][4]
Diagnosis of disseminated MAC infection is suspected based on symptoms and is confirmed in cultures of blood and often lymph node cells. Cultures of cells from urine, stool, liver or bone marrow may also be helpful. CT scans may be used to try to determine the different sites of infection in the body. If pulmonary or disseminated MAC infection is suspected, an HIV test may be done, as well as other tests, to rule out other associated medical conditions.[1][2][3]
A diagnosis of MAC lymphadenitis is confirmed by finding the bacteria in the culture of lymph node cells. These cells are collected by a biopsy of a swollen lymph node.[2][3]
- Pulmonary MAC infection, which affects the lungs
- Disseminated MAC infection, which affects many different parts of the body
- MAC lymphadenitis, which causes swollen lymph nodes
Treatment options for MAC infections vary by type of infection and by the presence of other medical conditions such as AIDS, cystic fibrosis, COPD, or cancer.[3]
Pulmonary MAC infections and disseminated MAC infections are usually treated with a combination of antibiotic medications. There are many types of antibiotics approved for treating MAC infections A combination of medicines is used because some of the disease-causing bacteria can be resistant to certain types of antibiotics. Using more than one antibiotic reduces the chance for the MAC bacteria to come back after treatment is over.[1][3]For people who have both HIV/AIDS and a MAC infection, treatment usually involves a combination of different antibiotics for the MAC infection and antiretroviral therapy to treat the HIV infection.[1][4]
In special circumstances, there is some evidence to suggest that surgery to remove a single spot of infection in one lung can be helpful in people who have had a poor response to drug therapy. Surgery is usually only done when the infection is found in only one lung and the surgery won't cause any long-term harm.[3][4]
Treatment of MAC lymphadenitis usually involves surgical removal of affected lymph nodes. Antibiotics may also be prescribed depending on the severity of infection and the response to surgery.[3][4]

The medication(s) listed below have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as orphan products for treatment of this condition. Learn more orphan products.- Liposomal amikacin(Brand name: Arikayce) - Manufactured by Insmed Incorporated
FDA-approved indication: September 2018, liposomal amikacin (Arikayce) was approved for the treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) lung disease as part of a combination antibacterial drug regimen in patients who do not achieve negative sputum cultures after a minimum of 6 consecutive months of a multidrug background regimen therapy.

People who are HIV-positive with MAC infections may have a shortened lifespan depending on their immune systems and their response to HIV medications. For people who have had successful treatment, there is still a chance that the infection will come back, so people who have been sick from a MAC infection need to be monitored over time.[2][3]
In HIV-negative people with lung disease from a MAC infection, the treatment success rates range from 20-90% in different studies.[2] People with certain types of lung disease, people who are underweight, and people with anemia are more likely to have a poor outcome than other HIV-negative people affected by a MAC infection.
MAC lymphadenitis in children generally does not impact their health. In some cases, the condition may go away even without treatment.[3]
