Hi, I have just been diagnosed with having the bug called Mycrobacterium Chimaera. I have been having the symptoms such as persistent cough (since Nov 18), weight loss, night sweats, lots of mucus etc.

Anyone here with knowledge or personal experience of this? Also what treatment if any to expect?

I’m new here but know there are a lot of help and knowledge on this forum from people in similar situation. Many thanks in advance.

There is a very good US site called Inspire.com put out by the Mayo Clinic.It has loads of information and well worth looking at.
