What points you to MAI? This is a bacterial infection common among those with AIDS.

Here are a couple good articles that include symptoms:

You can also look at this (http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/mycobacteriumavium_t.htm) link from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

This link refers to Mycobacterium avium Complex which in essence is Mycobacterium avium complex (comprising M. avium and M.intracellulare).

Here (http://iai.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/64/2/452) is a link to Mycobacterium intracellulare.

Rick is correct in that this is a bacterial infection common among people with HIV/AIDS, or immunocompromised patients.
