A member asked:
Can dawson fingers brain lesions present in lymes disease? im hoping i have lymes and not ms. my igenex test was positive and elisa test cdc neg.

Possibly: Dawson's fingers which appear on imaging is more consistent with demyelinating disease such as multiple sclerosis and not infection such as lyme. You need to have a more detailed evaluation and may need additional studies to make a definitive diagnosis.
