Hi All,

I just got my lab results, and here are the results. I really appreciate if you can interpret these results:

IgM Western Blot Result:
------------------------
IGENEX IGM Result: Negative

2 bands came out to be IND

39 kDa IND
41 kDa IND

Rest all bands negative.

IgG Western Blot Result:
------------------------

IGENEX IGG Result POSITIVE

18 kDa ++
23-25kDa ++
28 kDa +
31 kDa IND
39 kDa IND
41 kDa ++
58 kDa ++

What does the above result mean, IGM negative and IGG positive.

Do I have the Lyme desease and should I get started on antibiotics?

Thank You

If EITHER test is positive, the overall result is POSITIVE.
