In the treatment of MAC, ethambutol is used in combination with other antituberculosis drugs. Experts recommend that therapy for disseminated (spread throughout the body) Mycobacterium Avium Complex in patients with AIDS include clarithromycin or azithromycin combined with ethambutol or rifabutin. In a study, researchers noted the added benefits of combination drugs in patients with AIDS and disseminated MAC. In this study by the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, Colorado, 160 patients were given ethambutamol and clarithromycin; clarithromycin and rifabutin; or ethambutamol, clarithromycin, and rifabutin for 48 weeks. Patients that received all three drugs had improved survival compared with the ethambutamol and clarithromycin and the clarithromycin and rifabutin groups.
