My daughter's test results just came back (her pedi's office's system sends lab reports to parents), but her doc is out of the office until next week. She's not currently being treated with antibiotics despite a known tick bite and a variety of otherwise unexplainable symptoms (she's been through a battery of testing and has been negative/in normal ranges for everything else). Are the standard ranges listed somewhere?

Thanks.

Depends on what type of test you ordered. Standard for antibody is <91 negative, 91 equivocal >91, positive. If a Western blot was done, next to different bands denoted by different numbers it will say, negative, positive or indeterminate.

Hm. It must have been the standard and is apparently negative. I wish there was an explanation for why my baby has been so sick. :(
