Well, from these results:
Borrelia burgdorferi elispot LTT
Borrelia burgd. Fully Antigen + 6
Borrelia OSP -Mix (OSPA/OSPC/DbpA) (+) 2
Borrellia LFA-1 1 S l
My impression is that he is positive, because of the +6 on the first line and the (+)2 on the second line, but others also report of a "SI" value that this one seems to be missing. But I came up with that after reading 7 or 8 (there really aren't many) posts on other Lyme sites, so it's just other laymen trying to interpret the results from things that they can remember their doc's saying or what little they have found online - that's why I said I hesitate to comment. So I'm just guessing too.
The Immunoblot was negative - no biggy, most of these tests aren't sensitive enough to catch these bacteria without a really good immune response going on, as they are looking for antibodies that are supposed to be produced - but aren't being produced in the case of most chronic Lyme patients.
