HELP!!!! Can my daughter still have Lupus? |
My daughter was tested last Sat. for Lupus. Most of the test have came back and they are negitive. They say They can't find out what is wrong with her. Symptoms include: butterfly rash (2 weeks), joint pain and swelling (6 months) fatige (year)depressions (year) reoccuring UTI's (4 years) Hard to think sometimes, senitive to sunlight. She is 13 years old. What can we do to find out what this is? They are saying maybe fibromyalgia, Just because they can't find anythign else. She keeps going down hill. Please help!! Thank you! Yes. Have her tested for a false-negative disorder. I have this and it causes some of my blood tests to be incorrect. People with lupus generally have this disorder. False negatives are a significant issue in medical testing. In some cases, there are two or more (often many) tests that could be used, one of which is simpler and less expensive, but less accurate, than the other. For example, the simplest tests for HIV and hepatitis in blood have a significant rate of false positives. These tests are used to screen out possible blood donors, but more expensive and more precise tests are used in medical practice, to determine whether a person is actually infected with these diseases. False negatives in medical testing provide false reassurance, to both patients and physicians, that patients are free of a disease which is actually present. This may lead to inappropriate or inadequate treatment of the patient. A common example is relying on cardiac stress tests to detect coronary atherosclerosis, even though cardiac stress tests are known to only detect limitations of coronary artery blood flow due to advanced stenosis. False negatives produce serious and counterintuitive problems, especially when the condition being searched for is common. If a test with a false negative rate of only 10%, is used to test a population with a true occurrence rate of 70%, many of the "negatives" detected by the test will be falsely incorrect. (See Bayes' theorem below.) you need to take her to another doctor,,,that could be so many things its hard to tell without proper tests... |
