I know that there are many tests, of varying quality, to detect Lyme and co-infections.
But other than these Lyme-specific tests, what other blood tests are helpful in the diagnosis? For example, - white blood count - sedimentation rate - anything else
Are any of these helpful?

Great question, peets!

Maybe the CD57 ..
WBC won't tell you much, though it may indicate if you have ehrlichia, which causes low WBC.
Sed rate is most often LOW in Lyme patients, so an OK sed rate means little.

Personally for me, my relevant tests were tests for anemia, WBC, and serum protein immunoglobbin. (immune function tests)
