Because the tests are not yet available. I had the same thing beginning in late January...all the same symptoms and the cough lasted for about four weeks with three trips to the Doctor. Zpak and prednisone killed it off before it killed me. Sore ribs, etc. I just talked to my Villages Health Doctor and he said that is was possible but when I asked about getting tested for the antibodies he said that the test kits weren't available yet but I am on the list when they do arrive.
