Mycoplasma

[Guest guest]

Hi all -

My 5yr old has been on a decline for some time now and

is chronically fatigued, and I just realized that a

couple of months or so ago, he had had mycoplasma

(verified by rapid test), and apparently hasn't gotten

over it yet.

I had to get a new pediatrician, and so far I'm not

particularly happy with him - no more done than a CBC

and mono-spot, and since the CBC was normal, he seems

to not think anything is wrong. We do have an appt

w/an infectious disease at Children's, but it's a

month away and I am SO not content w/waiting that

long!

Anyway, I'm going to have to go somewhere else to

address this problem, but first wanted to know if

anyone's child has been treated by Dr G for chronic

mycoplasma, and what antibiotic he chose and for how

long, as well as which labs must be done to prove

chronic infection. I know the rapid test would no

longer be positive.

Guess I'm anticipating problems, but of course I

would, since that's all there ever has been. (Grrrr).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks-
