Lyme ImmunoBlot IgM
23- IND
31- IND
39- NEG
41- IND
93- +

Lyme ImmunoBlot IgG
18, 41, and 58 are +
23, 28, 30, 31, 34, 39, 45, 66, and 93 are NEG

Since some are indeterminate, should I retest?

Welcome to our community, mavera!

On IgM the 93 is lyme specific. That along with the IND 23 and 31 that should be good to back up a clinical diagnosis.


If a positive is important to you..then you could retest.

How long have you had symptoms? Or is this a recent tick bite?

Thank you so much for responding. I have been having symptoms that I suspect are from Lyme for the past 5 years. If I really think about it, I’ve probably had them for longer. The only time I remember having a tick was 10 years ago.. it had been embedded into the back of my neck. There was one other time I was possibly bitten, but I had symptoms before this (I think) I didn’t see a tick, but developed a rash on my knee that resembled a bulls eye (not very distinct, but there) and my knee swelled up..2 weeks later I was ill with flu like symptoms and a fever.

I would find a LL Dr. and schedule an appointment for an evaluation/treatment.
