Can you tell me how the cortisone affects on virus c test result?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be minimal: An immunosuppressant like cortisone may raise or lower the number from the quantitative virus assay, as may many other things. It won't make a false-positive or false-negative for the diagnosis
