Testing for Viral Therapy

 

You can ask your primary care physician to order a viral titer analysis, which can be completed by any regular laboratory and is often covered by insurance. Many people have run these tests and they can be helpful for some children who do not respond to a trial of this therapy. However, many children who respond well to antiviral therapy have had negative viral test results, meaning they did not appear to have a testable virus. My son was one of them

 

Some people say these children have difficulty creating antibodies to viruses. Some people say the therapy might be affecting a virus that we are not yet aware of. Some people believe that this therapy is doing something other than fighting viruses.

 

The bottom line is that there is a real group of people who respond wonderfully to this therapy that never test positive for a virus before, during, and after the therapy.

 

 

 

 

and one of them is the Coxsackievirus

 

 

and in this link http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/ba.../coxsackie.html

 

it says

A child with a coxsackievirus infection may simply feel hot but have no other symptoms.

 

ds has been saying this almost every other for a while...i thought maybe related to starting thyroid med...but he may have said this before starting levoxyl
