I am very confused about my RMSF lab results. My test in July showed the titer reactive at 1:16. My test in August showed it to still be reactive at 1:32. My doctor (primary) said this is good news since the antibodies are reducing. The way I understood the test, 1:32 is NOT good news. I thought this was a "worse" number than before. Can anyone familiar with Rocky Mt. Spotted Fever help?
I am going to a Lyme familiar doctor next week, but wanted to ask for help here.
Thanks!

No 32's is lower than 16's. Cut like pieces of pie----
But I do believe Lyme can make these numbers off. And even the meds can alter the tests.
So glad you are seeing a LLMD to treat.
