I'm sorry if this subject has already been discussed, but I need some
information on the prognosis for a secondary infection.  The brother of a
friend is in the late stages of AIDS and has contracted MAI, macrobacterium
avium intracellurae...a form of TB as I understand it.  He's had chronic
migraines and fever for a while.  We'd appreciate any information related
to additional consequences of MAI for the AIDS sufferer as well as the
(hopefully) longer-term prognosis for this secondary invasion.

Thanks in advance.
