A member asked:
Lyme antibody positive and western blot negative. where can i find a complete list of other id's associated with a positive igm/igm antibody screen?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably have Lyme!: I don't know where to find such a list as I am not sure the causes of a false positive are known, but, esp. If the western blot did not include the 34 ; 39 bands i would not rely upon it; please do the igenex western blot, which is much more sensitive ; specific for lyme. Even if that is negative 20-30% with lyme can have a negative WB test. Other tests may be indicated. See http://bit.Ly/1aaqjgc.
