I had a test done through MDL that showed:

EBV-VCA - pos: (index=3.64)

EBV-EBNA-1 - pos: (index=4.28)

Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) -pos: (index=6.08)

Mycoplasma pneumonia -pos: IgM (index=1.16) IgG (index=3.47)

What does this all mean? Is this normal for Lyme or is there another reason this is going on?

all very typical for those with lyme to have all above on board, too. Yes, they are likely reactivated.

There is a HHV-6 foundation with good information, by the way.

Mycoplasma - look up "Garth Nicolson" he's a top researcher in the field. A Ph.D., not an MD so he does not treat yet his website is very valuable to get to know.

From Burrascano Guidelines:

"In addition, many latent infections which may have pre-dated the tick bite, for example herpes viruses, can reactivate, thus adding to the illness." (p. 4)

"A huge body of research and clinical experience has demonstrated the nearly universal phenomenon in chronic Lyme patients of co-infection with multiple tick-borne pathogens. These patients have been shown to potentially carry Babesia species, Bartonella-like organisms, Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, Mycoplasma, and viruses." (p. 4)

"Chronic viral infections may be active in the chronic patient, due to their weakened immune response. PCR testing, and not serologies, should be used for diagnosis. Commonly seen viruses include HHV-6, CMV, and EBV." (p. 5)

Page 27 lists some of the symptoms of these viruses.
