Is anyone famaliar with this co-infection. My friend's 8 yr old son came up positive. Dupont told her probably don't have it she insisted they retest. Doctor SUCKED. She had orig taken him to an LLMD but only pediatrician. She found it but referred her to ID to treat. She put a call into her because she has an ID to refer her to, was trying someone local first, hence DuPont.

Can you have false positives? I told her I didn't think so. Obviously he has the symptoms and the positive test. DuPont is testing him for other things as well but he already had a TON of EXTENSIVE testing for everything else. Lyme Elisa was very low, Wester Blot negative tested twice. Did have strep thru his body and walking pneumonia. Two other docs didn't even look for any of it. the LLMD found all that plus the anaplasma. Not to famaliar with it told her I would ask.

Shortly after learning I had lyme disease, I tested positive for anaplasmosis along with rocky mountain spotted fever.

Anaplasmosis can be serious for those who have an acute case with symptoms. When it is a coinfection of chronic lyme, I think it is much easier to treat than bartonella and babesiosis.
