I've read some time ago that Stanford scientists developed a blood test. It'll be harder for docs to ignore once there's a proper diagnostic tool.

- rtp 6y agoYeah, in its initial study, the nanoneedle had a 100% specificity and selectivity, and according to Ron Davis - main author - the results have held up as they've increased the number of tested people. That said it might also give a positive result for other illnesses. Hopefully a follow-up will be published soon.
