I just read online that a CD 57 below 60 means you've had chronic lyme for over one year.. Is this true? I'm so devestated.. My symptoms started July 31st and I received antibiotics a month later.. I then got tested 2 weeks later by my LLMD and that's when I got my CD 57 results of a 40.. So I've had this for at least a year??

I am not a doctor.

My first CD57 was 28. I don't know if CD57 tells how long you have a disease I do know it tells you how well your immune system is doing.

Where did you read it means you've had chronic Lyme for over a year?

I've never heard that, but it sounds like it could be possible because it would stand to reason that the longer you have had Lyme, the lower your CD-57 is. But that's just a guess.

I'm actually still confused about my CD-57 (in April 2007)

I'm looking at the report now and it says

% CD8-/CD57+ Lymphs 4% Limits 2-17

Abs. CD8-CD57+ Lymphs 80/ul Limits 60-360



I assumed that meant my result was 80, but I don't think I ever got a clear cut answer on that.

NOt every LLMD checks CD57. My 3 guys who are supposedly the best, do not use this measure for info, so don't freak out. there are not many straight answers with this disease
