Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through the report that you put up (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

If I am not mistaken, all three antibodies done for Lymes disease are absent, which means that you do not have Lyme's disease.

If any of the three columns had positive, which would mean that the particular antibody was found in your serum, it would indicate that you are suffering from Lymes disease.

Do you have symptoms like fever, rash, cough, or any neurological symptoms? Lymes disease can present with fever, rash, cardiac or neurological symptoms.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I see the new file that you uploaded (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

According to the CDC for Lymes disease, two types of antibodies are tested, IgG and IgM, and 10 IgG and 3 IgM are tested. If a patient comes positive for 5 out of 10 IgG and 2 out of 3 IgM antibodies, it is considered positive.

Here 3 IgG are tested, out of which one is positive. It is a negative test for Lymes disease.
