@RML - Aspergillus Niger can cause hearing loss due to infections of it in the ear.
No need to freak out ... whatever is wrong with you has been wrong for quite a while Nothing has changed except that you now have proof that something is wrong and clues to finding out what it is. That's progress!Ok so I am freaking out right now, I might cry. Those results are not just high but sky rocketing off the charts high. Is it wishful thinking to assume it must be a mistake?
Thanks guys!
I will give it a break now, and wait to see what KDM has to say about it. I did briefly talk to Dr Charles Shepherd a few days ago, and mentioned the Ltt results to him. He seemed to be skeptical of M.E patients being diagnosed with Lyme, especially from German labs. But then he had never heard of the LTT test.
...
The Elispot-LTT method has been approved by the FDA in May 2011 for M. tuberculosis ...
The FDA argues in this paper:
"... A positive result (in the Elispot-LTT) suggests that an infection is likely, a negative result that an infection is unlikely..."
