Mycoplasma

Mycoplasmal infections are associated with several acute and chronic illnesses, including Pneumonia, Asthma, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Immunosuppression diseases such as AIDS, Genitourinary Infections and Gulf War Illness (GWI). Similar to GWI patients with mycoplasmal infections (~50%) and with similar signs and symptoms, mycoplasma-positive CFS/FMS patients respond to 6-week cycles of particular antibiotics: doxycycline, minocycline, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin and clarithromycin. Multiple cycles of these antibiotics plus nutritional support appear to be necessary for recovery. http://www.immed.org/Fatigue%20Illness/06.16.2012%20pdfs/Biomed.Ther.-98.4.14s_s.pdf
