Detailed Answer:
Hi!

Welcome to health care magic!

I am Dr. Saddiq Ul Abidin. I have read your problem in detail and will try to help you in best way possible.

Lyme disease IgG and IgM via Western blot test are negative, which means test didn't have conclusive evidence of Lyme disease.

However, other tests which you have mentioned of CD8 and CD 57..their values are much lower than normal which appears in Lyme disease.

So the clinical suspicion of Lyme is still present, but rest will be judged by infectious disease specialist, that your signs and symptoms support the diagnosis or not?

Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. kindly rate me before closing, and leave your feedback if possible.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ul abidin.
