Advanced Post-COVID Panel

Fully validated and accredited testing by Arminlabs

ArminLabs is the foremost laboratory in Europe for Lyme Disease and Co-infection testing, and a trusted and long-standing partner of the Academy of Nutritional Medicine (AONM).

Viral reactivation occurs when a virus that was previously dormant or inactive in the body becomes active again. This can happen when the immune system is weakened or compromised, allowing the virus to "wake up" and start replicating again.

 

With COVID-19, emerging evidence suggests that the presence of the coronavirus may trigger reactivation of other viruses that were lying dormant in the body, leading to co-infections or exacerbation of previous infections.

 

Symptoms can include fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, joint pain, cognitive dysfunction ("brain fog"), sleep disturbances, and mood changes persisting beyond acute illness.

 

This comprehensive test can provide valuable insights by measuring immune responses, raising awareness about current infections, recurring infections or those persisting over time.

 

 

The panel explained

T-cell and iga tests

  • T-cell tests are very precise in showing how our cells respond to antigens, even more accurate than using only regular antibody tests. ArminLabs utilise EliSpot technology to measure T-cells that release particular proteins when they meet certain antigens.

 

  • These tests essentially evaluate how our cells react when they encounter germs, acting like detectives examining our immune system's effectiveness. 

 

  • IgA (Immunoglobulin A), is a type of antibody found in mucous membranes of lungs, sinuses, stomach, and intestines, and is an indicator for current, ongoing, recent, chronic, reactivated, or reinfections. It's particularly useful for viruses and bacteria residing in mucosal membranes like VZV and Coxsackievirus.

*T-cell - A type of white blood cell critical for immune     response, recognising and destroying infected or             abnormal cells in the body.

*Antigens - Substances that prompts an immune response

What we test for

  • The advanced panel includes Herpes Simplex Viruses 1 and 2, Human Herpes Virus 6 (HHV-6), Chlamydia pneumoniae, Mycoplasma amongst others.


  • These infections are supported by evidence from medical literature, testing laboratories, and clinical practice, all pointing towards viral reactivation post-COVID.
