Re: More on Klempner's deceptiveness

Derdritteman, you are wrong. The case definition was for surveillance,
but the serological standard voted on at Dearborn was for both
surveillance (from CDC) and also diagnosis. It was enfranchised as the
new serological standard to be used with diagnosis --and with that
status, almost all commercial labs stopped reporting OspsA and B. If
the bands are not counted in any commercial lab for any doctor doing
diagnosis, how can you insist that the standard is just for
surveillance. Most peer review on diagnosis also defers to the two tier
and the banding pattern voted in at dearborn. IN FACT, the dearborn
standard was approved as the serology standard for the vaccine trials
EVEN BEFORE the Dearborn meeting. Derdritteman, you are seriously
misinformed.

Look, the serostandard was enfranchised for surveillance at the
Dearborn meeting BUT it was also approved for diagnosis in the vaccine
trials before that and was elevated to the diagnostic standard for
patients by scientists writing in the peer review.

It is currently part of the case definition for surveillance AND the
recommended standard for serology in almost all diagnostic guidelines
except the ones put out by ilads. gg
