Help - Negative Anti Strp Test and Negative DNase B

[jferinga]

Test results are coming back slowly. There was a positive step test a couple years ago. Recent tests are: Anti Strep (ASO AB): 61, DNase B: 276

 

The doctors states no strep. Does this sound correct?

This from the pinned thread for PANDAS info- See post #5:

Did your child flair with strep a couple of years ago? I read one of your former posts, and it sounds like he just started with Panda symptoms recently?

This says normal dnas b is under 170 in children.

Is that the only test you did? What are the viral titers HHV 1,2,6?

My daughter has very low titers even when she had a confirmed strep infection for almost 60 straight days (positive rapid test every ten days). Her titers were ASO 6 and Anti-Dnaase 86-95. They never rose. Her PANDAS Immuno still states she has PANDAS, not PANS since her problems started with strep. In testing her immune system, we found she has a primary immune deficiency and that explains no rise in titers.

 

The titers are a gauge if high, but not concrete evidence of anything by themselves if they are low.

What are these tests for? The doctor did not order these.

What testing was done to determine the primary immune deficiency?

He tested her IgG, IgA, IgM and IgE levels. I believe the test name through labcorp is "Immunoglobulins A/E/G/M, Serum"
