Default Blood test accurate when on antibiotics?
Hi,

I had a blood test done 5 days ago to check for MG. I wont have the results for another week or so, but I forgot to tell my neurologist that I am currently taking an antibiotic for an infection, and was on it for about 3 days prior before the blood was taken. Will an antibiotic cause an inaccurate test result for MG or will the antibiotic not be an issue?

I am just worried I will get a false positive or false negative because of the antibiotic I'm taking.

Thanks!
