Everytime they do blood work at the ER, which has been at least 8 times in the past 2 years, the Lymph Absol and Lymph Percent is always below normal. They say the same thing, have your doctor repeat the tests. Any relation between these levels and lymes perhaps?

Lymphocytes???? Low WBC????

Low WBC often occurs with ehrlichiosis, a coinfection of LYME disease.

Me too - I have low total lymphocytes. A lymphocyte subset panel shows low CD4, really low CD8 (regulatory T-cells), low B cells, and normal NK (CD56) cells. It is not known whether this is due to Lyme/coinfections or an immune deficiency in my case...I suspect a little of both.
