Viral Panel--HHV6, HTLV-2, EBV, CMV, Coxsackie


Recommended Posts

I would like to request a viral panel from my doctor tomorrow, but don't know how to ask. What tests are important? Would anyone happen to have specific information that I could give to the doctor (lab test name and cpt. code). I would prefer a test done through Labcorp or Quest as they are in-network for us. Some tests I've heard about--HHV6, HTLV-2, EBV, CMV, Coxsackie

Hi, I don't have the cpt codes- with our last Dr., I just said I want to do a viral panel- I thought/knew she had viral issues.

So, he ordered the CMV, all the herpes viruses, and EBV.

We did the test through labcorp, and I didn't get insurance coverage, and the test cost $1,000! Couldn't believe it.

 

Anway, we came back high CMV, HHV-6, and EBV.

Our new Dr. looked at this, along with some other testing we had done, and said her EBV and HHV-6 are so high, it is one of the first layers that needs to be dealt with in her immune system.

We started Famvir last week to tamp down these virsues.

 

HTH.
