Re: New Member Needs Help with Lab Interpretation

[Guest guest]

Hello! Just wondering if this group is still active. Have lots of questions

and not sure who to turn to.

always a little sickly, but grew well, and actually never had an atibiotic until

last August. She got pneumonia for the first time, and was on anti. for 2 wks.

Had it again in the same lung in November. Got very ill in December, then ended

up in the hospital for 10 days in Feb. She has not been the same. I scheduled

my own appt with an outside immunologist because pulmonolgy said, " Well, we'll

scratch our heads a little deeper next time she gets sick. " All her Igg Iga Igm

I believe are normal (those were done in the hospital). This is what he tested

and sent to ARUP...please, if you could help me figure these numbers out. She

got a pneumo vaccine, and we'll go back in 4-5 wks I believe.

Sorry, it's the end of school and we are preparing for vacation. I'm sure

others are equally busy and thought someone else would surely comment

We cannot comment on the values without including the normals. Can you

repost them with the normals, too? Every lab is different, and some vary

by the age of the child.
