Chronic Viral Panel (Add-On)

Additional chronic viral infection biomarkers.

NOTE: Please order the core program first and add this panel. The core program contains key base biomarkers. This panel adds markers that provides information about chronic infections. We all have some level of chronic infection that our immune system usually manages well. However, if white blood cells are higher or lower than optimal, stealth and chronic infections are usually the cause. Viral infections usually cause a lowering of white blood cell counts and the lymphocyte value.

This panel screens for several “usual suspect” stealth / chronic viral species. The components of this panel include:

  • Epstein Barr virus (EBV)
  • Herpes Simplex virus (HSV 1 and 2)
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

Adding these markers help in performing a proper diagnosis of:

  1. Brain and eye disease issues
  2. Fibromyalgia / energy issues
  3. Autoimmunity
  4. Lowered immune function

Almost everyone tests positive for EBV IgG antibodies but the level of the value matters. The value for your white blood cells, particularly the lymphocyte component, is a strong indicator of the activity of your viral burden. For example, if you are positive for a virus in this test and your white blood cell counts are below 4000 cells per microliter, then a virus is most likely active.

We consider bacterial infection to be more harmful (pathogenic) thus anyone obtaining this panel should also get the infectious screen panel. However, the impact of viruses on health are tangible. You may have had mononucleosis (mono) in the past and your doctor dismisses any EBV positive findings. However, even the Mayo Clinic appreciates that chronic mono is possible. They state, “Some studies suggest that it’s possible to get mononucleosis again after you recover from mono linked to EBV.”

Research

Lymphopenia (also called lymphocytopenia) is a disorder in which your blood doesn't have enough white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes play a protective role in your immune system. There are three types of lymphocytes. All lymphocytes help protect you from infection, but they have different functions.

One of the most common causes of a low white blood cell count is a viral infection. These infections can sometimes temporarily disrupt the bone marrow's production of blood cells, so blood cell counts drop. The counts typically rebound as the body recovers from the infection.
