Here is a copy of the Lyme test result ... what do you all think?

Well, you were on antibiotics when this was done, right? This will reduce the possibility of antibodies being formed, thus causing a negative ELISA.

I don't see any indication of a result on the western blot.

You just can't put much faith in lyme testing, unfortunately.

Worthless since it's from Quest. From what I can tell, this is not a Western Blot... just ELISA. 60% chance it comes back a false negative.

Post this in Medical too!
