Jan, no, but if you haven't already had them, it might be wise to have some U&E blood tests to rule out anything else going on.

Hi,
Not all infections show up on a dip test, the likes of e coli only get diagnosed if they are grown in the lab. So Mrs O's suggestion of having full bloods done is a really sensible one as your white blood count and othr bloods show a multitude of sins.
