I was just taken off rifampin due to low platelets and petechiae and bleeding. I went off all 3 antibiotics for 2-3 weeks. My ID doctor wants me back on just azithromycin and ethambutol now. I feel like I&m having a return of night sweats and culls and cough so probably will do as she suggests and start back on 2. Has anyone had any experience with this plan of action?
