Disseminated MAI infection was a disease of immunocompromised and apparently normal hosts. It was acquired from the environment by unknown mechanisms, usually entering the body through the lungs and spreading to include the reticuloendothelial system, bones, and less commonly, the skin.
MAC lung disease is an infection caused a group of bacteria called Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC). MAC includes two closely related species, Mycobacterium avium and Mycobacterium intracellulare, and may also be referred to as MAI.
Disseminated Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare complex (MAC) infection is a relatively common complication seen in advanced HIV, especially when the CD4 lymphocyte count falls below 50 cells/mm in the absence of appropriate prophylaxis.
Disseminated MAC (DMAC) infection usually develops in patients with AIDS and/or lymphomas whose CD4 count has fallen below 50 cells/µL. In patients with AIDS, colonization of the GI or respiratory tract has been associated with an increased risk of developing MAC bacteremia.
Mycobacterial diseases are infectious diseases caused by bacteria. TB refers to the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis. MAI refers to Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI), which is a term for two species of bacteria.
A: “Mycobacterium avium intracellulare” (MAI) or “Mycobacterium avium Complex” (MAC) is an atypical NON-TB germ (micro-organism). MAC is related to the tuberculosis germ, but is not contagious and the MAC microbes live in the environment. It comprises more than one type of microorganism (both M. avium and M.
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) organisms cause disseminated disease in patients with AIDS. The organisms penetrate the gastrointestinal mucosa by unknown mechanisms and are phagocytosed by macrophages in the lamina propria.
MAI infection occurs clinically in 18%-27% of AIDS patients, with a higher proportion noted at autopsy. MAI can be isolated from many environmental sources including soil and water. Transmission of the pathogen is thought to be due to inhalation or ingestion of the organism (inhalation for pulmonary disease).
Cutaneous disease. Cutaneous MAI infection should be suspected when an individual who is immunocompromised presents with obscure skin lesions. Additional symptoms may suggest disseminated disease, including fatigue, fever, diarrhea, weight loss, back or bone pain, shortness of breath, and/or cough.
Before prophylaxis is initiated, disseminated MAC disease should be ruled out by clinical assessment and if appropriate based on that assessment, by obtaining a blood culture for MAC.
The infectious disease doctor recommends surgery to remove the middle lobe and the damaged area of the upper lobe, because the damage is so great that the antibiotics cannot reach it and therefore cannot cure the disease (because there is insufficient blood flow).
If disseminated MAC develops, a treatment regimen containing clarithromycin or azithromycin and at least one other agent is recommended.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 031.2 was previously used, A31.2 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
