There are 3 Diagnostic Criteria
A. CLINICAL
B. THERAPEUTIC
C. LABORATORY
In patients who present persistent symptoms associated with or suggestive of a viral infection, it is recommended to sequentially apply the following diagnostic criteria for viral persistence: A. CLINICAL CRITERION. The patient will meet the clinical diagnostic criteria if he or she has one or more of the following symptoms or syndromes: 1) If the patient scores 10 or more points on the free HHM test questionnaire for microclots, available at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/362634538 2) Low-grade fever, fever and/or night sweats (or very early in the morning). 3) Persistent anosmia, hyposmia and/or dysgeusia (alteration of taste). If the clinical criteria are met, it is justified to apply the therapeutic criteria. B. THERAPEUTIC CRITERION. The application of this criterion consists of carrying out therapeutic tests using drugs against the viral load. Details of these therapeutic tests can be found in the documents at the following links: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/366412536 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/351051024 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/372413948 https://www.researchgate.net/publication/373799663 To meet this criterion, patients must respond favorably to viral load treatment, with a significant decrease or disappearance of persistent symptoms. C. LABORATORY CRITERION. To meet this criterion, the existence of the causative viruses must be identified through laboratory tests. This criterion could be applied before the therapeutic criterion, however, the percentage of false negative results is still very high. See details at: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/343931153 and https://www.researchgate.net/publication/354528386 For the diagnosis of persistent viral infections, the use of samples for molecular tests (PCR) that contain cells or tissues (very few available) is indicated. See 1st step in: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/353325113 IN PRACTICE, IF THE THERAPEUTIC CRITERION IS MET, IT IS SUFFICIENT TO MAKE THE DIAGNOSIS OF VIRAL PERSISTENCE.
