I got a call from my LLMD this afternoon saying I tested positive for Typhus from Labcorp. Anyone know anything about this or have it? I started doxy tonight, and am also on Cefdinir and Biaxin and starting to pulse Tindamax. Any info is appreciated!

No, the report just says Typhus Fever Group IGM. Maybe there is more testing I need to get to identfy this? This is the first time I have ever even heard of it!

Oh my! I don't know anything about this.

apparently it is pretty rare, but will find out more. My LLMD is pretty well known and it is the first case she has ever had - lucky me!
