My Dr. did this new test and, after years of coming up negative for Lyme, I came up positive on the part that tests the cytokine response. I was equivocal on the antibodies and negative on the Western blot. I'm not sure what to make of these results.
My Dr. (Vinitisky) says it means I have Lyme (as well as CFS, mold illness, and whatever else seems to be the 'in' thing to have). Last year Dr. Lerner in Michigan said I had 'serum negative Lyme' meaning he thought I had it even though it wasn't showing up in tests.
Anyway, I want to find out more information about this kind of testing, but everything I search gets me to the lab that does it and nothing from an independent, reliable source.
