Tested positive for rmsf in sept igm was 1.32 no igg. i had blood work fri and results today show still positive 1.20 igm still no igg. why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is a puzzle: From Sept to Feb I would expect the IGG to become positive. It is possible the positive test for RMSF was a false positive. It reacted as positive, but in fact some unknown other factor made it positive. I might suggest that a consult with an infectious disease specialist would help sort this out.
