False negatives on PCRs are much more common, because a part of the bacteria needs to be in the sample. It's not just looking for antibodies.
That said, negative on multiple Elisa tests and WB's.

Hi, After having to beg the doctor to test for Lyme, my daughter's Elisa was negative, Western Blot from Igenex was positive.
