IgG do very much tend to say for life but once the infection is no longer active the titres slowly decrease. By decrease I am referring to the inverse of the dilution ratio, e.g. a dilution ratio of 1:256 is a titre of 256.  So be titres decreasing I mean for example the aforementioned titre drops to 64 i.e. a dilution ratio of 1:64.  I asked Professor Stratton about tests a year or two ago and he recommended the immunofluorescence test as the gold standard.  Chronic infection is based on titre result.  I do not recall the cut-off titre but if you send me a PM I will find the email for you.

I am getting tested soon for cpn. My ND says it's not contagious after 90 days and I've probably had it for about 10-12 years but at least 1-2 years. Does that mean I'm not contagious? I can't seem to confirm his statement with online info. I think he's saying my test will indicate level of contagiousness. He said, "It is not communicable in its non-pulmonary form.  This is supported and confirmed on lab diagnosis which will show positive IgG antibodies and NEGATIVE IgM antibodies.  The former elevation suggesting a chronic, old and non-communicable infection."

I just got another Genetics test(blood) in Toronto, Canada. Says I am clear.?

Congratulations, Luckypenny!.....................Sarah

I am still so confused, by these numbers do I have it still or am I clear?Chlamydia pneumoniae(IgG/M)Chlamydia pneumoniae IgG 1:32 Neg:<1:16Chlamydia pneumoniae IgM <1:10 Neg:<1:10

Thanks for the replies everyone, I wasn't getting a notification so this is the first time I've logged in since posting...just thought no one was replying lol...Anyway, yea so I have positive PCR for Borellia Miyamotoi and titers to bartonella at 1:128, been very sick for the past 5 years, dizzy, POTS, muscle aches, anxiety, brain fog, weight loss, nausea, etc. seen 50-60 docs lots of testing mostly clear except for the infectious part. Have a cabinet full of abx I am afraid to take!I've been trying to figure out if anything else was part of the picture, as mentioned my CPN labs, first taken a few years ago were 1:256 IGG, IGM and IGA negative, when last taken a few months ago, it was 1:64 IGG, IGM and IGA negative, but honestly dont feel much better...so wondering if m symptoms are more from the borellia/possible bart...Just had my doc do another CPN lab through MDL, doing both IFA and their PCR, should have the results back in a wekk or so, bt it sounds like titers of this level (coupled with negative IGA) are usually indicative of chronic CPN?Any way to contact Dr. Wheldon directly?
