Sounds kind of familiar to the new iSpot from a lab Oceola Wisconsin.
The iSpot measures your T cell response and T cell levels from your blood while placed into a sample of known lyme bacteria. In long term infection, it can show lowered T cell level and its slow reponse which can be triggered from long term lyme.
My blood samples were analysed in that lab on March 19:
Borrelia burgdorferi Elispot LTT
Borrelia burgd. Fully Antigen + 3 SI < 2
Borrelia OSP-Mix (OSPA/OSPC/DbpA) + 4 SI < 2
Borrelia LFA-1 (+) 2 SI < 2
The results of the Elispot-Lymphocyte-Transformation-Tests are an indication for an actual cellular activity against Borrelia burgdorferi.
Chlamydia pneumoniae Elispot LTT
Chlamydia pneumoniae-Elispot LTT (+) 2 SI < 2
The result of the Elispot-Lymphocyte-Transformation-Test (LTT) is an indication for a borderline/very weak actual cellular activity against Chlamydia pneumoniae.
CD 57 positive NK-cells 136 /µl 100-360
The CD57-cell-count is no indication for a chronic immune-suppressive situation caused by Borrelia burgdorferi.
I don't know what the results mean. The positive numbers were so low. Here people think that the tests of Infectolab are too accurate, give positive results too easily.
I have not discussed with any doctor yet. I am on Doxycycline due to my chronic tonsillitis and sinusitis. I am HLA-B27 positive and have pains in joints and muscles (reactive arthritis?). A throat sample has not been taken. I think that I could have Mycoplasma. I have had many different symptoms during several years.
From what I've read, the Ellispot is a very useful test. It's worth asking how accurate it is against Lyme in the area where you think you got it. There are a variety of species of Borrelia, and some tests will not show a positive for some species.
When I discussed with my doctor a few days ago, he could not say, whether I have Lyme disease or not, although I got the above mentioned positive results from Infectolab. A certain antibiotic treatment could solve the question.
During a year or so, I have had several antibiotic treatments for my chronic tonsillitis. The last one (Doxycycline 150 mg per day) had to be stopped because of worse symptoms. Thus, I may not tolerate more effective antibiotics which should be used for Borrelia.
If I have Lyme, it could be since the eihgties or 2009.
If you let your blood sample be tested in Infectolab, could you please tell the results here.
