Mycobacteria are a type of germ. There are many different types. The most common causes tuberculosis. Another causes leprosy. Still others cause infections called atypical mycobacterial infections. They are not "typical" because they do not cause tuberculosis. But they can still harm people, especially people with other problems that affect their immunity, such as AIDS. Sometimes you can have these infections without any symptoms. At other times, they can cause lung symptoms similar to tuberculosis: cough, weight loss, coughing up blood or mucus, weakness or fatigue, fever and chills, night sweats, poor appetite, and weight loss. Medication can treat these infections, but often more is needed to cure the infection.
