Avatar m tn s infection, you can have blood tests for mycoplasma pneumoniae and chlamydia pneumoniae. Unfortunately, a lot of doctors misinterpret the results. You can get IgG titers for the bacteria and if you have elevated levels, it may indicate a chronic infection. Unfortunately, with chlaymydia pneumoniae, the blood test won't tell you whether there are antibodies because of a chronic infection (which is the problem) or just because you've had an infection in the past.
Avatar m tn And got a mycoplasma pneumoniae infection which I think because I took a bath there and use their towels . THE PROBLEM IS: After that , before I notice the mycoplasma pneumoniae infection problem , and also 43 days before my last negtive result , I have a hand-job with another girl-sex-worker (only do hand-job ) ; and druing this I feel itch in my penis ( urethra , in fact) . I touch her vulva without my finger insert into her vagina , and I don't feel moist on my finger .
Avatar m tn The Chest (Journal) publication Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae in Asthma surely seems compelling where it comes to an association between this bacteria and asthmatic symptoms in at least some people. There's also a review -- Chlamydia pneumoniae, asthma, and COPD: what is the evidence? (pubmed). Has the asthmastory website been discussed among members here?
Avatar m tn I enjoyed 21 days Doxybene (Doxycycline monohydrate ) for Mycoplasma pneumoniae, I finished ATB 5.9.2011 and 7.9.2011 I go for HIV test. Can Doxycycline make a false positive HIV test?
Avatar f tn I have been taking Azithromycin for 4 days. I have gotten worse. Still have fever and have developed nasal congestion with yellow discharge. ENT gave me Spectracef. I read that Spectracef does not treat mychoplasma. So, is there an antibiotic that would treat both mychoplasma AND sinusitis incase I have one or both?
Avatar m tn Dear Dr, I'm a chinese male, 26. I really suffered a lot these days. I put a question to the medical support forum, people there make me much stable . But I worried about other sth. after heared from someone , make me nervous again.
Avatar f tn You were likely not on antibiotics long enough to do much against slow-growing bacterial infections, such as cell wall deficient bacteria. Examples are Mycoplasma species and Chlamydia pneumoniae. These are airborne infections that cause slowly evolving chronic conditions. They can arise from an initial bout of pneumonia or not (many patients with these infections never had pneumonia).
Avatar f tn My question is do you think it is possible this is mycoplasma and not chronic lyme? And if so exactly what test should I ask my doctor for to test for mycoplasma? My IgM Lyme test through Igenex showed 30+, 39, 41 IND. Thank you for your time and expertise.
Avatar m tn m clear of Gonnorrhea and Clamydia however I tested positive for Mycoplasma Hominis and Mycoplasma Genitalium. I thought these couldn't be acquired by oral sex but I guess they can. I'm now under treatment with Clarithromycin 250mg twice a day for 7 days. I'm awaiting blood test results. My questions are: 1) Howcome I caught MG through oral sex? 2) Are there chances of other STDs? 3) Does MG increase risk of HIV?
Avatar n tn pneumonia gives you a low grade fever, tiredness, dry hacking cough, pain in the ribs area. They can check for these by testing and culture. It is important for you to get your lungs listened to to make sure you are ok. They can treat you with antibiotics if you have the secondary bacterial pneumonia but if it is Mycoplasma or Chlamydia they may or may not. I have had both Mycoplasma and Chlamdia pneumnia at the same time after getting the flu. You may just still have the viral pneumonia.
Avatar m tn just received culture for uretha swab indicates AB resistant mycoplasma to all antibiotics (AB) except for one doctor has never heard of (myocline? ) He then gave me Cipro 500g 2x a day which is just barely keeping symptoms under control. Still peeing a lot and mild uretha pain. The new AB Starts with M is all I can remember I was so freaked out. The doctor said he needs to look up the AB and he'll call me on Monday?! I am freaked out. Suggestions?
Avatar f tn My boyfriend got tested positive for mycoplasma genitalium. We have been together about year and a half (and he has not had sex with anybody else for about 2,5 years and then with a condom). Could it be that he got it even before that, so maybe 3-4 years ago and it didn’t show? And how is it possible that in november I tested negative for the same thing and we have regular sex? I am pretty sure he hasn’t cheated on me.
Avatar m tn Went to urologist and got urin and blood-tested for almost all STDs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, Mycoplasma Hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma Genitalium, Ureaplasma parvum, Trichomonas vaginalis, Syphilis, and HSV-1 and 2). Only HSV-1 came back positive (31 COI), which i have been having oral ulcers with for many years. Everything else came back positive.
Avatar n tn On the other hand, if there are PMNs present you should be tested further for other pathogens, for a non-STI urinary tract infection, or for prostate infection. You have now been treated with treatment which should be highly effective for chlamydia, Mycoplasma genitalium, and trichomonas. Had these been present , you should have been successfully treated. I hope these suggestions are helpful.
Avatar m tn Dr, Just to add to my previous post I was never tested for Mycoplasma Genitalium as the clinics told me there is no standard test for it in standard sti clinics. Does this alter your opinion from that of your previous post? When you say it responds to Zithromax, is 1g single dose sufficient in your experience, as you seen from my posts my NSU was recurring? Thank you again for your time, I would appreciate a reply to my last posts & this will be the end to my queries.
Avatar m tn In addition I did another calculation and actually I tested negative for Mycoplasma 25 days after taking Ofloxacin. I learnt that Urine tests are pretty accurate so I strongly believe that I do not have ngu any more. But what conserns me is continuos clear discharge after I wake up. That has now happened 4 days in a row. I know that because my penis head is moist. I do not see it happening during the day - even if I have long breaks between urinating.
Avatar f tn Mycoplasma Hominis** Detected Ureaplasma Urealyticum** Detected Please help
Avatar m tn Yesterday I finished a 5 day course Azithromycin after a postive test result for mycoplasma genitalium. I'm still feeling some of the sad symptoms as I was before. When is a retest recommended? Does anyone know if the Azithromycin continues to work, even after the course is finished or whether the fact that I still have symptoms (burning when I urinate) this means I need a longer course of antibiotics. I've read that some Azithromycin is resistant to antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately there are many of them and it would be quite hard for most of us to get tested for potentially a huge list of infections and there is a big possibility for false negative. So the intent of this thread is for everyone to post any tests for Viral/Bacterial infections that they have done and or that they want to get done, so a total coverage is bigger than one person can afford. Let me know what you think.
Avatar f tn I would recommend that you show him to a pediatrician in order to reach at appropriate diagnosis. In mycoplasma pneumoniae serological test and chest radiography are quite essential to rule out the condition. On confirmation it should be treated with appropriate antibiotic therapy. I hope it helps.
