Beyond Ro and La, Current Criteria: New Early SJS Test available 2013

[BKreader]

I really wanted to do this test as my lip biopsy was a bust and SS-A and SS-B neg. My ENT seems like she is still itching to do another biopsy as she seems very perplexed by my results. I am hoping to avoid this, but would like some definitive answers. I was able to print lab info directly from IMMCO's site. I also printed out the article that was from a med journal I believe that was linked through this or a similar thread and presented this to my Rheumy. She approved this for my next round of blood work in October. I'll let you all know.

That's great.  Will be really interested in hearing the results.

The test is from blood.  I was quoted $330.
