ANA dilution high please help!

[nomoz]

My 7 year old daughter recently had bloodwork done. She had two rounds of Azithro. and still had IGG's of 5, and her ANA is 640, though her ASO is only slightly elevated, at 200. She has had exacerbation since Jan - end of Jan tested high positive for micoplasm. Currently has fever of 102, vomiting, diarrhea, and no sign of exaccerbation. Can anyone tell me about ANA's, and has anyone else expererienced PANDAS symptoms minimalizing during fevers?

Please help!

Could the fever, vomiting, and diarrhea be due to a virus and that is why she is not showing PANDAS symptoms? Some kids with PANDAS have flareups with viruses, but others do not.

Seems every time she has fevers, she does not show symptoms. However, the day before her fever flared up, she had a horrible rage episode.. And usually, it's only a matter of days to weeks after she is sick that they come back. I'm not sure if what she has now is a virus - wondering if micoplastic pneumonia still has her. Her 1GG's are still so high. But she did have a bit over a week on Augmentin before this fever - as a trial run - diarrhea may be due to that as well. She has had Augmentin before, though, and never had such a reaction to it.

Thanks for your concern.

My daughter seldom gets fevers (not a strong immune response to anything), but when she does, its like a vacation for me- she's calm and rests.

My dd always had a remission of symptoms during fever. She also has a very high ana it would range over the last three years between 1280 and 2560. I believe these antibodies correlated with my dd's ocd symptoms. Because when she started getting ivig's her ana dropped to 80 changed from speckled to centromere. This was notable because she had a high ana for almost 4 years and ocd and after ivig her ocd improved greatly and her ana dropped dramatically. Interesting enough the immune doc says ana's normally don't drop with ivig. My kids did and have stayed low so ivig is doing something good.
