Daughter is being treated for lyme&mycoplasma w/strong antibiotics.thought iron is low, but it was 212(she's 17)infections not new(1.5yrs+). why high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: She needs to see an infectious disease specialist. I always doubt when a doctor speaks of multiple organisms causing problems at the same time.
