Good Morning Melanie.

My son failed 13 out of the 14 titers. He was below the .50 marker.... remember some labs have different ranges and perimeters. He was never vaccinated with Prevnar when he was young b/c it was not required at the time. He is now 12. We did the vaccination for Pneumovax (for 2 and older) and just retested his titers. They are came back very "robust" for all 14.... I'm very happy they took so well! How old is your son? Did he have the Prevnar Vaccine? Seem a lot of the PANDAS kids fail this, which is the explanation for so many with ear infections, bronchitis, sinus problems, etc. In hind sight I wished he had the Prevnar and maybe he wouldn't have been so sick the first 4 years of his life.... maybe even avoiding the STREP that loved him so much!!!

 

I don't know about the Tentus.
