Almost any visit to the doctor ends with the appointment of numerous tests, both free and paid.. Infectious disease doctor Daria Panieva spoke about the futility of certain types of tests prescribed in clinics, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women from 14 to 35 years old.. net 1. Any tests for herpes virus types 1,2,3, as well as for rubella, measles, mumps are useless if symptoms of the disease appear.

It is also not recommended to conduct tests to determine the presence of herpes virus types 6 and 7, since drugs developed for this disease are only at the stage of clinical trials and do not have confirmation of their effectiveness..

It makes no sense to re-analyze for the determination of IgG to herpes and toxoplasmosis, if you have already performed such an analysis and have a result confirming the presence of these antibodies in the body. These antibodies remain with a person for life, so you should not waste your time and money on repeated tests..

It is not necessary to carry out an analysis for the determination of IgG antibodies in children under one year old, since the mother's antibodies are still present in the child's body, which can distort the real indicators.

Another meaningless study Paniev considers the analysis of feces for dysbacteriosis.

If a child, while attending a preschool institution, began to get sick with ARVI more often, there is no need to do an analysis that checks the state of the immune system (immunogram). Normally, children can get ARVI up to 12 times a year, the doctor believes, thus the body's protective functions are formed..

If meningitis is suspected, the only true study will be the analysis of cerebrospinal fluid. In this case, CT and MRI of the brain are useless.
