Lyme testing from Medical Diagnostic Lab?

[philamom]

Has anyone's doctor ordered lyme tests from this lab? I'm especially interested in their PCR test.

Thanks--Melinda

Hi we saw a Doctor at "Tick Borne Disease Center"Dr.S in West Chester.Back in March.He uses MDL they are in Hamilton NJ.DD results;HSV1 HSV2 By Real Time PCR Negative,Mycoplasma general by Qualitative PCR Negative,Bartonella henselae by Real Time PCR Negative,Babesia Microti by Real Time PCR Negative,Ehrlichia chaffeensis(HME)and Anaplasma phagocytophila(Hge)by Real Time PCR Negative,Lyme disease (B burgdorferi)by Conventional PCR Negative,Lyme Disease Western Blot IgM No bands present,IgG 41 present.Lyme disease C 6 Peptide by Elisa Neg(Index=0.28)Neg:<0.90,Lyme disease IgG/IgM by Elisa Neg(Index=0.60)Neg:<0.90. Fast forward to Igenex testing done July.The Lyme Immunofluorescence Assay(IFA)<1:40(Negative)Lyme IgM Western Blot Ind(Indeterminate)Bands 41 IgG Western Blot 31 and 39 Ind and bands 41 ++.Genomic B Burgdorferi Negative,Plasmid B Burgdorferi Negative.(This is a Lyme Multiplex PCR test)It was done on serum and whole blood and both negative.B Microti(Babesiosis)Igm 1:20 titer(1:20 Igm may suggest evidence of infection.B Microti IgG<1:40 titer (IgG suggests no evidence of infection)Babesia Fish(RNA)Positive.(A positive sample shows fluorescing rings within 3 rbc's)The parasite exist as a ring.E Chaffeensis IGM and IgG negative.A phagocytophilum IgG and IgM negative.B Henselae Igm IgG negative.Spotted Fever Group IgG and Typhus Fever Group IgG no antibody not detected.Our daughter was on Augmentin when the above labs done.Back in October 2009 Anti-Lysoganglioside 640,Anti Tubulin 1000,Anti Dopamine 1 1000,Anti Dopamine 2 4000,Cam Kinase 160(Dr.Cunningham's)Was not on meds at that time.We saw Dr.Charles Ray Jones in CT and waiting for his report.RPR negative.Ferritin 5 low,and Vitamin D is low. Labs done July 2010 EBV IGM Negative,EBV IGG positive,CMV IGG positive,IGM negative.Also positive for Mycoplasma p IgG back in Feb 2010.Back in Jan 2010 c3D Immune Complex >114 H(0-8 range) I don't know if any of above will be helpful but thought I would share dd results!Dr.S said to just continue on the Augmentin(Back in March)which was already ordered by Dr.B.So I sent blood to Igenex because no one could ever tell me "Yes she has Lyme or N0"Also that is why we saw Dr.Jones because she did have a tick bite (In November)it will be 2 years and even though I asked Pediatrician about it twice he wasn't concerned and did no treatment.If we could only go back in time and if we had a Crystal Ball,maybe life would be normal!(Also I worry about if she has a parasite that we don't know about.I let her swim in a pond and I did not know there were geese in the water on the other side.It was at a campground and they test the water and someone told me they treat it if contaminated.Then they later said it wasn't treated.There was fecal coliform in the water(I had to be a pain in the butt to get that report out of them!Which was a ok level according to them.)I guess I don't want to miss anything.
