Interpreting significance of IgG antibody levels of varicella zoster

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

Would anyone who has had their child tested be prepared to share the test

results for IgG levels of varicella zoster.

My daughters levels were very high at 3460. She had chicken pox at 12 months,

which did mark the start of her decline into autism.she is now 18.

Dr G thinks this is the most significant lead we have to work with and these

high levels are evidence of re activation of the virus.

The GP and other NHS Drs of course think this is just evidence of a well

functioning immune system, and that there is no upper limit for IgG.They are

however unable to tell me what a normal range is or how long Levels remain high

after infection.

I have spoken to the lab (Drs laboratory) and they feel these results are

suspect as she was only 12 months at the time of infection.

I ask as Dr G seems to think antivirals are the main way forward but she has

developed sensitivity to valtrex and aciclovir. Her OCD behaviours seem to

remain a lot worse after antivirals and I am reluctant to try them again.

Any thoughts anyone?
