Ehrlichia chafeensis confused

I have been told that I have had erichilosis which has showed up on my Lyme screening from Igenex.

The test the IgG is 40.

My lyme titers show I have met lyme the results are follows:

IgM:

**23-25 kDa
**31 KDa
**34 Kda
**39 Kda
**41 Kda Indeterminate
**83-93

IgG

**23-25 kDa
**31 KDa
**34 Kda
**39 Kda
**41 Kda ++
66 Kda +
**83-93 Indeterminate

I spoke to my doctor on saturday and she said I have met Lymes but they need to do another form of blood test with another method. So I am booked next week to do this.

Does anyone know what type of test this would be?

The thing is confusing me is I cant find Ehrlichia chafeensis in the UK, only in the states. I was in the states around about 1994.

I was at hossamonga springs and crystal river then went on to the gold coast Treasure Island.

I cant remember being sick when I came back.

would the Ehrlichia still be causing me problems or the Lymes after that amount of time.

I have never met such a weird disease in my life.

I have been told I probably have MS too lol, they have found I have EBV and CMV as well, and found I have tested positive for rheumatoid factors. I have loads of deficiencys too and low B12 and anemia.

Does anyone know if I could have got E chafeensis in the uk, i cant find anything about it.

Thanks. At least I know now i have been bitten at some point in my life by a tick. Now i have to get well.

Are you looking for information just for yourself? I didn't look around much, but I did find where a well-respected Dr speaks of it being in the UK.

"Ehrlichia and Anaplasma bacterias have also been noted in Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, Slovenia, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Russia and Japan. However, similar to other tick-borne diseases, migratory birds probably play a significant role in disease spread around the globe, and these bacteria (HGE and HME) are likely found in other areas of the world not yet identifying and reporting the disease.

Here is the article in the "Journal of Medical Micorbiology" where she got her information:

I do hope that this info helps!!
