A member asked:
Is there a test similar to the elisa, or the ifa that detects higher than normal levels of antibodies across a wide array of third world diseases all at once with one test? basically an antibody test where mass cross-reactivity is preferred?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It wood not be cost effective, and would encourage over treatment of false positives. If anyone has offered you such a test, you may be dealing with a scam.
