ShannonOtown Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 I need some help on where to go next... My entire family tested high on the Mycoplasma Pneumoniae IGG, but low on IGM. Our pediatrician and my primary care internal medicine MD, put the entire family on the standard full 10 day antibiotics treatment. They both prescribe b/c of my concern and push for help. I waited 2 weeks after and retested everyone and the results came back with higher scores for everyone on the IGGs. The pediatrician doesn't want to mess with it, and says call the infectious disease doctor. My primary said to call an infectious disease doctor, too. My concern is none of us are showing any symptoms, expect my PANDAS son with his classic symptoms (eye tic, anxiety, moods, etc) but he's not sick with a fever and cough, etc. Has any one treated their entire family for MP? Will an infectious disease doctor be open to treat everyone for the sake of one family member showing Pandas symptoms? Is an increase in IGGs grounds to make an appointment, even without classic pneumonia symptoms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
