Hi:
I am afraid I am not familiar with the "TWAR" test. What is it ?? What does it
stand for ??
What exactly did these elite athletes die from on post-mortem ??
What kind of symptoms is the player positive for TWAR having ??
As I recalled, there was a theory a while back of linking coronary events with
chlamydial infections, but I am not sure if it was the same chlamydial species
that you are referring to.
Anyone's comment towards educating me would be appreciated.
