Re: First Lab Test for HHv6

[Guest guest]

There really is no normal.  It's just a part of the big picture of where the

immune system's at.  Ours were totally negative, and yet dr G called my oldest

a

classic HHV6 based on his history and labs, even w/a zero/negative titer.  When

his HHV6 showed up positive the first time, it was right after this really cool

change in already good eye contact, so then we rechecked it and sure enough -

the immune system had found it.

Sometimes they're 1:400, 1:2000 (that's pretty bad news), you just can't know

and it won't often change treatment.  There's not much to 'break down' about

it.

Hope that helps.

Subject: First Lab Test for HHv6

 

Hello

I just got back my son first lab for Hhv6. I was hoping someone would be able to

help me understand.

It's a LabCorp test HHV6 IgG: Result 4.05 flagged HIgh. Reference range is >1.10

for positive. Is this a normal high for kids on the spectrum?

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thank you
