IGEN-x results back

I think I will systematically go through all of the spirochetes that band 41 ++ and look at symptoms.


"The spirochetes are divided into three families (Brachyspiraceae, Leptospiraceae, and Spirochaetaceae), all placed within a single order (Spirochaetales). Disease-causing members of this phylum include the following:

Leptospira species, which causes leptospirosis - not a good match
Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease -symptoms match
Borrelia recurrentis, which causes relapsing fever - not a good match
Treponema pallidum, which causes syphilis - hmm - some things, but others not
Treponema pertenue, which causes yaws" - nope

so - given the symptoms of the other spirochetes aren't good matches.. it makes sense, its lyme. Especially the indeterminate band 31, because this says something was there, and this band is specific to borrelia burgdorferi

This breaks down the bands.

and in our New To Lyme? ... Start Here! there is a list of the bands.

On the bottom of the Igenex lab report you will read: Diagnosis should not be based on laboratory tests alone. Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms and patient history.

Your test results are almost just like mine.

Ha ha ha!! You haven't seen me in real life, but I'm a purple unicorn.....with sparkles! As you know, I'm just kidding. But this is such a wonderful and well read community, if you have need of something, just ask!! Usually someone has at least some information on it!
