eljomom Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Hello, I usually post on the pandas forum, but though this question may be answered here. Just wondering if there is any point in retesting for Lyme now that dd7 has been on zithromax for 2 months (low dose) and one month of augmentin before that? She was negative on Igenex but had a few IND's on lyme bands. Do they need to be off abx for a while before re-testing? Also, anyone know what things may cross-react with certain bands (like 31, 58, 66)? Thanks.
MichaelTampa Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 No need to be off for re-testing. The test is looking for antibodies, not antibiotics, so they won't interfere. Recent use of antibiotics, to the extent it has killed some bugs and maybe put the immune system in a better position, could lead to a more positive-like result.
