This seems like the best and most accurate lyme test that has ever been implemented.
I`m curious if it would be possible to be negative for lyme, but still have another tick borne infection present?

That`s exactly what I meant.
I understand the lyme culture test from Advanced labs very well and it seems thus far false negatives and false positives are rare, although there is a small possiblity you could have lyme even with a negative test.
My LLMD believes I more than liley have tick borne infection of some kind. I was just wondering, if it were possible to not have lyme, but still have another tick borne infection present?
Thanks for you responses Lymetoo and Poppy.

Well, if they say in one of the articles I posted that a certain percent of ticks had one pathogen, a lesser number had more than one....we still don't know for sure if the one pathogen was lyme disease.
However, most of the tick infection rates I have seen suggest that lyme is the most common pathogen. Makes you wonder why that should be the case.
And it would be useful to comb thru all the papers of this type to see if there is more concrete information on this subject. Would have to have the full text of them all to do this. Usually just the abstract is available for most journal articles.
