My CD57 was a 13. Very low. I've read many times that many don't believe this test is accurate as a marker of how long to treat. But is it accurate for saying yes or no to lyme?
Can ANYTHING else cause this low score?? My LLMD says that it is for chronic lyme only, but I'm still nervous about having something else.

I've heard the same thing as a Chronic Lyme indicator. I too wonder what else the CD57 could be an indicator of but have yet to find anything.
