My son has a positive Bartonella result and and 'indefinite' for Babesia. With his symptoms, I think that he most definitely has Lyme disease. It would be nice if he could be properly treated for Babesia and Bartonella to see if improvement shows that he does indeed have Lyme. So the results were not negative - just not quite strong enough on the Babesia front for a positive. Sometimes, the immune system is so compromised that a postive test will never show up.
The allergy testing at Great Ormond Street has shown a very high IgE. The average is up to 40 and his result is over 500. I wonder what he is allergic to and if it is the Lyme underneath this hitting his immune system. Guess, at the speed we are going, it will take months to find out. I hope not as I want my son well again soon.
