Coinfection testing

[lfran]

Hi all.

 

I know Igenex has a coinfection panel (with some new tests included, including a Bartonella FISH test. However, a I recall that many of you have posted that your LLMDs prefer a different lab for coinfection screening. Can you post which is the preferred lab (and why?)

 

Thanks.

Bumping this up, hoping for an answer. We're about to do a coinfection panel, with no insurance coverage, so I want to make sure I get the best one.

 

Thanks!
