SO... is it possible that your co-infections tests could be negative, however, you're still infected?
Much like lyme... if your immune system is too messed up to create bb antibodies... is the same true of the co-infections?
My doctor faxed me all of my results and she did test me for a bunch of co-infections. All were negative.
But so was my lyme, but my CD57 is 44.
So should I ask her to re-test me for the co-infections after i've been on the antibiotics for a bit?

All my coinfection tests were negative, yet 3 LLMD's and 2 LLND's tell me I have Bartonella (in addition to Lyme) based on my symptoms.

Thank you! I think that's what I was getting at... like lyme, it's possible to test negative but still have co-infections. Thanks again!
