it seems common for fish to die even after the symptoms of these type of bacterial infections are not apparent. I was talking with someone who works in the medical industry training nurses And he made me aware of how these things are treated differently than other bacterial infections in people. He made me aware that when these bacteria die the patient can be easily sent into toxic shock and die. For this reason the treatment is done on a minimum of ten day ( sometimes more) regimen which is started at low doses and incrementally increased over the course of the regimen schedule so the toxins released do not kill the patient. I had always thought that it was shock of medication or the stress of such long treatment periods that was probably Responsible for these deaths in seemingly cured fish. Now I am beginning to think that some of these deaths might be more avoidable if an incremental increase of treatment is applied. This thought might not be new to others but it is too me and thought some others might find this interesting.
