Re: Positive ANA and Lyme disease

[Guest guest]

If your child has not been on antibiotics for the last 4-6 weeks, the is a Lyme

test from Advanced Labrotories that actually cultures the blood for spirochetes

(Lyme)

It is reported 80% accurate- if it's positive, you actually get a picture of the

spirochete -

that's a slam dunk.

has had slightly elevated ANA's for several months and he has been tested for

mycoplasma, EBV, CMV, etc, and all have been negative. HHV6 was once positive

but has been negative for years, thanks to antiviral therapy.... I want his

pediatrician to test for Lyme but I need to show justification for it.

Thank you, but what I need is peer-reviewed *research* connecting *elevated ANA

to Lyme disease.* My son's doctor doesn't see the need to order any tests and I

can't afford to pay for them out of pocket.
