mkur Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 The nih and others are calling for lumbar punctures. Does anyone know what tests Swedo and the other drs want done? What viruses and bacteria are they looking for? Thanks.
oivay Posted March 6, 2012 Report Posted March 6, 2012 I'm not quite sure what they're looking for, but there is absolutely no way in H-E double toothpicks that I'd go for this.
bulldog24 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 The lp is only for research. my kid is in the study. It wasnt as bad as you think. It was over in 5 minutes. I was there and while unpleasant its a SMALL price to pay to be in the study. If he were not in the study, I prob wouldnt do it, but thinking back to how bad my son WAS I prob would have done it. My son had no ill effects from it.
bulldog24 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Posted March 7, 2012 But they do look at the fluid and culture it. Then they use it for research. Thats all i will say
