Hi -
Does "reinfected" mean bit again or the original infection thought to be beat comes alive again? And what does it mean to pulse abx? Thanks!

Re- infected means being bit again -

Asymptomatic means you don't have any symptoms.

Latent infection means you have the bacteria, but it's dormant, and usually there's no symptoms.

A latent infection can become active when the population of the bacteria gets to a certain point - then your body responds and you have symptoms.

Pulsing means not taking antibiotic every day at the same dose.

Hey Julie,
If you got my PM, then you can see, I am not extremely well versed in this. But I was in the ballpark. Cheers.
Be well...
