A member asked:
Can being on antibiotics change the outcome of a blood test? can antibiotics mask infection (eg. appendicitis, etc.)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Do not know what "blood test" you are referring to, but the answer is yes for some. Antibiotics can mask the clinical manifestations of infection without curing the process, including appendicitis.
