Off the top of my head 23 is specific for Borrelia Bergdorferi (Lyme spirochete). I don't recall 58 off hand, I'm sure someone else will.

It means get yourself an LLMD post in "Seeking a Doctor".

So sorry.

What's the AB thingy??

According to Dr C,

"The significant antibodies, in my opinion, are the 18, 23-25, 28, 30, 31, 34, 39, 58, 66 and 93.

So... Those can be very significant since they are "Lyme-specific"...

Was this a test through Igenex??? If not, then you will likely have more bands show up on the Igenex test because they test for all possible bands.

Quest???? [lol]
