As I've posted before I had a catheter infection on june 9. I'm still being treated for it, however the symptoms are gone. My question is how long should someone with an infection stay on hold from the list? Is it when they start feeling better or should one wait until the antibiotics are done. After antibiotics my neph does not redrawl cultures to see if it is gone.

As far as I know... You have to finish all your antibiotics and must be 100% clear of any infection before being made active on the list.
