Hi Anna,As I recall one test specifically was for epstein barr.
Everyone has a certain level of this in them, however, through a blood test, they can measure by a count of what is considered normal. I made
a copy of that report and if I can find it, I can be more specific. He also had some type of blood test that gives an indication of the condition of
your liver and if it is inflamed. He also had to do a test for hepatitis because he stated they will give out similiar results in other blood test, but I was cleared of the hepatitis.I was diagnosed in '97 and I am way better, but I
have my bad days.Hi Sassy,
