More on nested PCR testing for active hsv6

[Guest guest]

Again looks like blood can be tested through Nested PCR, not only spinal

fluid

Anyways, great site this http://www.hhv-6foundation.org/hhv6_induced.htm

Dr G would find that tapping spinal fluid samples for testing would be

highly risky and somewhat controversial (look at the public reaction to Dr

Wakefield's work) unless totally necessary to save a life. Dr G's routine

IgG/IgM tests for herpes virus's presence (or immune reaction that presents

this way) is enough for his treatment decisions. Having said that, Dr G. had

Nested PCR tests done on my son for EBV by a UCLA professor of pediatric

immunology Dr . There was no evidence of EBV infection; however my

son's EBV IgG levels remain elevated. Dr G always said from the outset that

my son probably had never had an EBV infection - and he was right... more

evidence about the immune system over-reacting and/or retroviruses being

created that cause positive results to certain IgG tests.

Correction - it was a quantitiative PCR not a nested
