Mycoplasma and chlamydia!! False negatives...!!!

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

I wanted to let you know something very weird that I saw happening

to a fellow patient at De Meirleir's clinic.

He was visited the first time at the clinic on June 2000. By that

time he had been very ill, very fatigued, the Rnase LMW was high at

6,9 (normal < 0,5). No other bacterias or viruses were found during

the first round of exams at that time.

He was then tested two more times but each time with the same

results. All the PCRs were negative for bacterias and viruses.

But then, he was already responding very well to antibiotics, for

reasons that even Prof. De Meirleir did not know how to explain, as

he could not explain why he tried him on antibiotics without a

visible reason showing in the lab tests.

All of a sudden, he tested positive to mycoplasma. When asked if he

could have been infected later on over the years, Dr. De Meirleir

said that probably not, it was already there when the therapy

started and it came out over time, maybe thanks to the antibiotic

therapy.

This seems to me what a said concerning the use of Zithromax for

5 days before the Igenex test for Lyme disease in order to detect it

in the urine.

But at the same time, it leaves me spechless... I was desperate that

apparently I could not find a single infection to blame for my CFS,

and now this theory and these facts say that I could have it active

but not visible in my blood exams...

What should one do then, try treatments before lab tests?

I don't know what to think really...

Hugs for everybody.
