Anyone have this and what does it mean?? My c4a dropped from 10,000 to 3,000 after just a week of antibiotics but my c3a is only 39...

I don't have an answer for you but wanted to bump this for more views.

Just realized it was 2 weeks of antibiotics, not 1. Still seems like quite a drop for just those 2 weeks.

This is a good thing. This article will likely help you understand these values better: www.publichealthalert.org/role-of-c3a-and-c4a-complement-proteins-in-chronic-lyme-disease.html
