Is this consistent with Lyme Disease?
I was negative for 9 out of 10 IgG bands but IgG P66 was present & abnormal so western blot for Lyme IgM negative and Lyme IgG negative. NK CD57 was very low at 12 (ref: 60-360). C4a was normal at 320 (ref: 0-650).

also liver enzymes ALT and AST VERY high. Trying to find some answers. thank you

It's possible... which lab did the test?

Moving to Medical Questions for more help.

What are your symptoms? A CD57 that low could indicate Lyme plus Babesia. I'm also wondering which lab you used for your Lyme test.

--------------------
CDC positive for: Lyme & Babesia duncani
Clinical diagnosis of: Bartonella

Yes, I'd say you're positive, with the 66 band - heat shock protein - if you look at the top of Medical Questions, Important Info about Lyme and Co-infections, scroll down to Dr C's Western Blot explanation for the bands. Many feel that any one Lyme-specific band is enough. And the CD57 count is very low.

I'd say time to see that Lyme-treating doctor!

However, her C4a was a very good normal. CD57 is not always lyme specific they say now. More testing is in order, I think.
