Probably one out of 9 bands.... but the best labs test for more than 9 bands.

Which lab did your test?

I had only band 41 positive through Labcorp and my LLMD said it was significant to Lyme. It is the tail of the borrellia I think. Yes go to a LLMD. The test are inaccurate. It must be a clinical diagnosis.

What do you mean 41? is that a specific line or something? I think mine was Labcorp too. I'm trying to find a LLMD we'll see.

Print this out and read it several times!!

Read the replies to the orginal posting too!!! Print as much of it as you can afford to print!

YES, one band can mean you have it... so find an LLMD and get evaluated. The test you had was likely not from a quality lab that deals with Lyme testing.

Get tested thru Igenex Lab in CA ... test #188 and 189.

I got a copy of my test results there is no line numbers or anything! Do any of you know what this is?:
WBlot: Lyme IgG/IgM Ab <0.91 Index 0.00-0.91
negative <0.91
Equivocal 0.91-1.09
Positive > 1.09
Lyme Disease Ab, Quant, IgM (same as above)
