Re: +positive EtG and yeast infections.

hi s,yeast in vagina and urine makes etoh but etoh molecules would have to make their way somehow to be conjugated with glucuronide,improbable that large amounts would do that...much more likely the bactrim interfered with your normal CP450 enzyme system skewing normal liver function to default etg production hence false positive etg...bactrim is known to do this...regards r ...

I figured it was a numbers thing based on there being more female nurses. The males in my support groups have had + tests as well but I would like to run quick survey among those women who have had + Etg'sI had a positive about this time last year and Again on a test done on September 7 of this year. Thankfully the numbers were low enough (Both well under 500) that they were ruled as incidental. However On the most recent test I had just started my cycle and had a UTI for which I was taking Bactrim.Shortly thereafter I was treated for a yeast infection. I went back

through my records and discovered that I had also been treated for a yeast infection last year prior to that test. Has this happened to anyone else out there? Just wondering if there's a pattern?Suzanne

Yes, my 2 positives in 2005 were when I had first a bacterial infection which I treated with Metrogel and then a yeast infection.
