I'm sorry, but I haven't a clue. In America, we have a number. It is not valued with pluses (+). Hopefully someone else can help you.

Is you Aunt having physical problems? How old is she?

couple of days back she took apple juice, within few minutes she felt sick and fell down, not even able to move any of her body parts and recovered only after an hour :-(....

she is 42

in the blood report it showed as prevelence of SLE...
after that only Dr. asked us to take immunonlogy full spectrum report...

Keep us posted on her outcome.

Has she recently had any vaccines? Like right before all of these symtpoms come on.
