As I remember Davis and his team also looked for infections in blood via PCR and found even less often pathogens in CFS vs. healthy controls.
Does someone know if these PCR testing is especially sensitive (say, compared to what you can expect at a normal university lab) and if it's possible to get tested there (on a self pay basis)? I tested negative for Chlamydia pneumoniae in blood at a german university lab, but have high antibody titers (IgG and IgA) and am pretty sure that I have chronic Cpn-infection ongoing.
Tagging @Hip, who seems to know everything ;-)
