If anyone is able to help me interpret my infectolab test results I'd be grateful.
The LTT elispot was negative (so can at least understand that one)
The borrelia burgdorferi antibodies (immunoblot) are:
Borrelia blot igg - negative
Borrelia blot igm - borderline Bands OspC Bg +, 41 +. Now I know the 41 band is common for many people and not Lyme specific so I will ignore that. However, I'm not sure what the OspC Bg is. I thought all test results/bands came back as numbers so the OspC reading flummoxed me a bit. From a quick google search I've seen it mentioned that OspC stands for bands 23-25 so are the OspC letters just another way of indicating the bands between 23-25, rather than listing each one separately?
CD57 positive NK Cells: 57, ref 100-360 (so gather low). The cd57 flow cytometry also listed leuocytes, lymphocytes, all within range.
As I have only shown borderline response to OspC, negative on LTT elispot, although do have low cd57, I am presuming these results suggest Lyme is unlikely? Any thoughts most gratefully received.
