I haven't been test by igenex or any other lab besides at the local hospital but I got a copy of my test results today and I need help figuring out what all it says.

3/28/08

tularemia- neg at 1:64

tularemia igm- neg at 1:64

EHR Chaff IGG- neg

EHR Chaff IGM- neg

* igg titers if 1:64 or greater indicate exposure or acute and convalescent samples showing a four- fold increase, and or the presence of IgM indicate recent or current infection.

Lyme disease AB- 0.91 -- (neg) 0.00-0.90

(equivocal) 0.91-1.09

(positive) >1.09

Note: the CDC currently advises that Western Blot testing be performed following all equivocal or positive EIA results.

Rocky Mt IGG- equivocal

Rocky Mt IGM- 9 negative- 0-9

equivocal 9-11

positive >11

Ehrlichia AB

HGE IGG titer- negative

HGE IGM titer- negative

CRP - 0.6 0.2-0.9 mg/dl

------------------------------------------------------

the doc also did another "tick" test 6/25/08 but it looks like she only tested for LD and RMSF.

Lyme disease AB- 0.91

rocky mt IGG- positive

rocky mt IGM- 9

I'm sorry Lulu, I don't know how to read those tests. I would ask your Dr. to explain them to you. The only thing I can tell you is if you do get a western blot make sure the Dr. tells you all bands that were positive.

Good luck, Denise
