Dear Mailbase
We received an enquiry from a Consultant Spinal Surgeon about the availability of MELISA (Memory Lymphocyte Immunostimulation Assay) for one of his patients. MELISA is a blood test that detects type IV hypersensitivity to metals, chemicals, environmental toxins and molds. The patient has titanium rods in her spine and there is a query that she may be having a reaction to the metalwork in her spine.
Is there anyone offering this test in the UK?
Best wishes
