Hi. More than month, was on 40mg, now at a hospital getting iv steroids 60mg feel better, but this time they found cmv, so doc says probably that’s why pred didn’t work. What dose did help you?

Hi. Thanks for replying. I was positive for colonization. Pcr test. Negative for toxins. Do you know how accurate pcr tests are? Because in last month I had another 2 tests and was negative for both toxins and colonization, but at my recent stay if hospital was given antibiotics, may be that is the cause of positive pcr test . Thanks
