Can any one tell me exactly what the cd57 panel is,

I never heared of the test cd57 panel till today, i wondered if its worth getting this test done..

I have an appointment with my gp on friday, and im trying to go with loads of tests i want doing,

where do i need to be tested for this, does it have to be a certain lab.

The other test i wondered if i may think be worth checking for is the Chlamydia Pneumonia..

Im trying to get tests done that fit my symptoms

Thanks

Someone can probably clarify this - but the way my dr explained it to me (in basic terms) was that it's a measure of the strength of your immune system. The higher the number the better. If your immune system is weakend by fighting infection your CD-57 numbers will be lower.

I could be wrong, but this was my basic understanding of it .
