Hi all, my serum positive lyme resulted in the following western blot results. While I understand that neither test is accurate for determining diagnosis, I was curious if there were any here that were test result savvy and could give me their thoughts on it.
Thanks much!
LYME WESTERN BLOT IGM Indeterminate - LYME WESTERN BLOT IGG Indeterminate - SOURCE Serum - IGM KDA BANDS 41 - IGG KDA BANDS 30, 41, 93 - INTERP/COMMENT IgM nonspecific bands were also detected. IgG nonspecific bands were also detected.
While there is some band reactivity, these results do not meet the CDC criteria for a positive Lyme Western Blot.

Dr C's Western Blot Explanation
In my clinical experience, if a patient has symptoms suspicious for borreliosis, and has one or more of the following bands, there is a very high probability the patient has borreliosis.
These bands are 18, 22, 23-25, 28, 30, 31, 34, 37, 39, 41, 83, and 93.
