Positive Mycoplasma in "non sick" child

[ShaesMom]

Okay so I'll admit I know nothing about MycoPlasma because it hasn't been an issue for dd.

 

My son, who isn't "sick" "yet", has Myco IGG of 515 and ASO titers of 1012!!! Okay.....

 

CBC showed high EOS and low Neutrophils. We are familiar with Eosinophils around here. His blood work from last go around had high ECP.

 

I know I can search Myco and find a ton of info on this site but would someone mind giving me the short, quick version. And what do you think of those titers? We had dd's tonsils removed because her's were hovering in the 500's. He hasn't had strep recently.

 

My son isn't officially a patient with LLMD yet so he won't rx anything for him.

 

Thanks

I know you know this already, but myco and high titers weren't part of our issues so I don't remember much about it. But I do remember that many doctors won't treat myco in the absence of symptoms. But we are dealing with more than just myco though with these kids!

 

I think with high titers he should go on antibiotic treatment and it can take a while for them to go down. I just can't wait to get him to the LLMD and see what they decide.

 

What about anti-viral treatments?

 

Hopefully someone will read this this weekend that knows more than me!!
