Mycobacterium Infections/Tuberculosis

With the exception of tuberculosis, mycobacterium infections are uncommon. Typically, this bacteria does not tend to cause infection in healthier people. However, this is not the case for those with a weakened immune system. This makes Mycobacterium Infections a higher risk for those suffering with HIV/AIDS.

Symptoms

  • High fever
  • Rapid, unintentional weight loss
  • Diarrhea
  • Joint and bone pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Skin lesions

Symptoms typically differ with each patient which is why it’s important to consult a physician who will work with you to meet your individual needs. To discuss your health with Dr. Mike Czarnecki, “The Lung Doc”, please call us at (423) 710-3864 or schedule your appointment online.
