Should I Get Tested Now for TPHA Treatment Effectiveness?
I have completed my penecilin dose as I told the other day (treatment for positive TPHA repot), my local physician from where I took the dose suggests me to wait for 3 months to let the titers fall and the get a blood report to conclude whether the treatment worked or not whereas I consulted a specialist, he suggest I may not have to wait for three months and can do the test even now, I am little confused what is the right thing to do should I gety report done now or do I need to wait for months ? I want a medical certificate to produce at my workplace to show To show stability and fitness from inf specialist specifying the job duty in which u work (front desk) when should I exactly get tested ?

Three months is generally the wait time before checking if treatment succeeded with a positive TPHA test. But, your doctor's advice takes priority. Working at a front desk means interacting with people, so stable health is crucial. Getting a blood test now would help clarify things.

Using albendazole or ivermectin improperly can harm your health. A doctor prescribes albendazole one or two times yearly to treat intestinal worms. Meanwhile, ivermectin treats stubborn parasites like scabies or strongyloidiasis once annually. These medicines eliminate parasites causing stomach discomfort, itching, and tiredness.

The cost of Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) can vary widely based on some factors. PFTs usually consist of several different lung function tests, such as spirometry and lung volume measurements, and may also include bronchodilator testing or other specialized assessments.
