This video, Mitigating Risks with Tysabri, from our recent coverage of the CMSC Annual Meeting is very informative.y
Dr. Hunter and Dr. Kantor explain the new JCV "index titer" test well. (See video above and link near the bottom of this post).
I especially appreciated Dr. Kantor's summary, starting at time code 3:41 of the video above. He explains the new test (Jan. 2013) and what to ask your doctor to get the test done.
As soon as I saw the video above, I asked my Neuro for this blood test that measures Titers. Within a day I took the lab test, and two days later the PA from my Neuro's office called with my results.
No need to mention my results. For me it was great that I watched the video and asked my Neuro for this test.
If I hadn't seen this video, I might not have become aware of this new test for many months.
Great that the conference coverage is making information available at about the same time it is released to Health Care Professionals!
If you are on Tysabri, please watch the video. You might want to ask your Neuro about this.
Also, here is a related thread that is a very informative discussion about Results of blood work for JCV 'index" risk
Hope all this helps! Please feel free to comment!
