Hi folks
Its been a while since I posted. Quick update. My son was diagnosed with ME back in 2012 when he was 12 years of age and he is now 16 and still very ill and unable for any school or life outside of the house. Anyway, recently I got to see an Infectious Disease Specialist who ran some blood tests and I wonder if anyone could advise, in their opinion, what they think they could mean. He says there is indication of his body fighting something but as yet he hasnt identified what that is. Any insight would be much appreciated. We saw a rheumatologist yesterday who said that they probably dont mean anything...which seemed a bit odd to me
Incidentially, he also tested positive for past EBV and CMV viral infections and low Iron and Folate
CD3 Total 2341* cells/ul Range (1400-2000)
CD8-Suppr 630 cells/ul Range (600-900)
CD8% 18* % Range (27-35)
CD4-Helper 1621* cells/ul Range (700-1100)
CD4% 47* % Range (33-41)
CD19-Bcell 711* cells/ul Range (300-500)
CD19% 28* % Range (12 - 22)
H/S Ratio 2.57* Range (1.10 - 1.40)
