question about viruses

[sosudden]

Has anyone had a viral panel? What labs should I ask for? Just had EBV drawn Monday and waiting for results....

I just hate doing 1 lab draw at a time...

Have no one local that is knowledgable or willing to learn...

SOOO thankful for this forum and all those willing to share...

i'd say cytomegalovirus, whatever herpes virus you can, coxsackie virus (is that a herpes?) there's another that's on the tip of my tongue that is a commom childhood virus but i can't think iof it

This is the panel ordered initially by our doctor from PACLAB:

 

Cytomeg Abs (CMV)

EBV G/M (Mono)

MiscSend-PAML (HHV-6)

 

We were shocked to find that my son had had Mono and also tested high on HHV-6! Had no idea since he tested neg. with other doctor.

 

Now, several months of valtrex later, she tests thru LabCorp the one that continues to test HIGH:

 

Human Herpes Virus Type 6 IgM (this one neg.)

HHV 6 IgG Antibodies (this one positive so he has had for a while)

 

After several months of Valtrex (plus Natureopathic/homeopathic supplements) he was not getting rid of HHV 6. So now on Valcyte prescription (very expensive) for 6-9 months. Interestingly enough, my dh also tested high on this virus so he has started Valtrex now. Since I am the only one well (or so it seems) the doctor thinks that I have antibodies for it so have no symptoms.

 

Your smart to be checking for viruses.
