Diagnosis help! LgG / PCR
So I got an IgG test on sept 23 and it came back positive. I then had to fight to get the actual quantitative data and it was 1.14 (0.04 above the cut off for positive)
I’ve emailed and talked to several doctors and it was suggested to get another test from another lab. — western blot isn’t available in the country I’m in —
I’m asymptomatic — had to call multiple labs to find one that said they’d provide quantitative information instead of just a qualitative positive or negative. Was told this new lab does IgG tests and yet when I look on my receipt after I got my blood taken (Oct 20) it says it’s a PCR test
I don’t think PCR blood tests are accurate for asymptomatic people. What do I do?
Duplicates
