Antibiotics Raised BCR ABL
Categories:
I haven't heard of this before, and besides a CYP3A4 interaction (look at drugs.com interaction checker) I can't really see, in my uneducated view anyway, how antibiotics could impact a PCR result.

Hello, it seems infection can raise your BCR -ABL But no one would listen to me .Had two small rises when on antibiotics so Docs said I must have Bone marrow test and change to Dasatinib.I asked if I could have one more test to make sure it didn't go back down ,I had one eventually but Doc never sent the results to me .I went for my check up today only to find my blood had gone back down to even less than before it started to rise .So I went thru the pain of the marrow test and the stress of changing TKI when I didn't need to .So mad and upset at the same time .Denise.
Hi Denise, sorry to hear you have been through the hassle for no reason. I have had a couple of instances when my BCR ABL has gone up when I had infections; I thought it was a side effect of my chronically low WBC and neutrophils. It certainly explained a couple of my blips over the years.
