Can you please help me interpret this? thanks!
Hi, I finally got the results:
It says:
Herpes Zoster IgG: Negative Titer Positive (1.57)
Herpes Zoster IgG: Negative Negative
Does this mean no Herpes Type I/II testing was done?
I have High levels in Lymphocytes, bilirubin, creatine kinase and urea. Low levels in vitamine D. Where can I find someone to help me interpret these results? Doc has not mentioned any abnormalities...
thanks!
Ok, I will get this as soon as possible..
thanks.
you can call and ask them to read the exact results to you.
Hi,
Unfortunately, I do not have the results. In a month, I have another meeting with the doctor, and I will ask for a copy of the results. Until then, it is just stressing :/ Is it possible to supply me with some answers on my questions? This would help me putting things in perspective..
I really appreciate what you are doing btw:)
I can best help you if you get the actual test results to post here - e.g. hsv1 igg 3.8 and hsv2 igg 4.3. thanks!

Some more specific questions:
1) what is the chance that the IgM IgG test is correct in showing in showing and OLD infection? I.e. What is the chance a new infection is shown as an old one. (IgM - and IgG+) I know IgM is not reliable, but I just want to know
2) how long does IgM stay in the blood when it is there (typically)? I find answers ranging between 3 months and 3 weeks...
3) how long for IgG to appear typically?
4) what is the percentage of people who are asymptomatic for type 2? I seem to find a lot of different info
5) is it possible for foreigners to test in the USA?
I hope you can help me, because as I said, here there is no type distinguishing test...
thanks.
