I regularly receive this result. I have been diagnosed with Lyme and other infections, but nobody had directly connected the ANA results to Lyme disease. My rheumatologist says it is caused by an intracellular infection, possibly Lyme and probably mycoplasma. Mycoplasma is an obligate intracellular infection, meaning that it can only thrive inside the cells, and it does not do well when outside of the cells. Lyme can exist in or out side of the cells, and could possibly cause an elevated ANA. Anne M., BSN, MSN/IH, RNmcfighter@...

That makes me feel a lot better Anne, thanks! You havent rec'd diagnosis of an AI diseases Im assuming. Hope you dont mind me asking - I was just curious as you said you are seeing a rheumatolgist and I know they typically treat AI issues (in addition to FMS, etc).

Thanks so much,

Hi,

I have had ANA titers about 140 to 160 for quite a long time. I have both Lyme

and mycoplasma and it is almost certainly caused by one of those, probably both.

It is a sign the immune system is trying to attack the bacteria that are inside

your own body cells.

One of the things that for me helps the titers go down is to religiously avoid

anything I am allergic to, and also to take artemisia, (herb that gets the

cystic form borrelia out of the body cells in to general circulation).

I did have a lot of screening tests to check for autoimmune diseases, and if

you'd like a list of those, drop me an email. However, the doctor did tell me

that people with Lupus or other autoimmune diseases usually have levels about

2000, so he said 140 is probably not a level to worry about.

I hope that's reassuring.

MY ANA results were positive as well and this has led me to my lyme diagnosis.

My RNP was 2.8, my lyme practitioner did not recommend other testing, she

believes it is from lyme.

Thanks ! Its interesting though- there is a sim thread I noticed on Cal Lyme right now and there was someone saying she had been diagnosed w several AI diseases in addition to Lyme.. I guess AI can happen in addition to lyme- must depend on symptoms, or a lack thereof, in addition to the specific info that the lab give.
