Immune workup

[dut]

Hello.

 

We're off to see an immunologist and want to know what people think we should have included. Both our dd6 and ds2 are seeing the dr. I only want to do blood draws once if possible 'cos our son is little, so want to have as comprehensive a testing list as possible now.

 

Any ideas on what this comprehensive testing list should include?

 

Thanks....

Here's a start, others will probably have some to add...

 

IgG and subclasses

IgA and subclasses

IgM

IgE

Strep Pneumo 14 sero types

EBV

HHV6

Lime

We also did the Lymphocyte Subset Panel, which consists of the Absolute Lymphocytes CD19, CD3, CD4, CD8, etc..... This is different than the lymphocytes under the CBC panel.

I'd recommend adding flow cytometry for CD3, CD4, CD8. Also pull Eosinophils and get a SED rate as long as you are there.

Thanks for the responses.. unfortunately this immuno is good according to our ped but not a PANDAS believer but hopefully he'll do everything we want. If not I'll try and do a phone consult with Dr. Boboulis.

 

Thanks again...
