Granted these tests were done at Quest, but they actually did the WB as well as the ELISA.

The only reactive band was 58 and I don't think that's indicative of lyme disease.

However, my husband again came up positive for babesia - in fact he had a pretty high IGG reading for babesia. This is after he'd already had 7 days (several months back) of IV clindamycin and oral Quinine.

The current doctor suggests treating the babesia first with zithromax and mepron - I forget the dosages (I think 700 mg?? does that sound right?)

and then go from there.

He'll need longer than 7 days to get a handle on babs. I'd add artemisinin into the mix along with the zith/mep.

Secondly, Quest ? If your symptomatic and have any positive bands I'd be highly suspicious of lyme bit I doubt I'd let Quest do the testing.
