There is no single Lyme disease test, which can make diagnosis of this disease difficult in many cases. Several types of Lyme disease test exist, some of which are of dubious accuracy and are not recommended as the basis for diagnosis or treatment. Those tests for Lyme disease which are most widely used are called serologies as they test the blood (serum) of patients for specific antibodies to the Borrelia bacteria that cause Lyme disease infection. Such tests cannot currently differentiate between present active infection and previous exposure to the bacteria and cannot be relied upon for diagnosis in the absence of symptoms of Lyme disease. Where testing occurs shortly after a tick bite it may come back negative as the body requires time to build up detectable levels of antibodies.
SO remember even though your test comes back negative you may still have Lyme disease or co infections, very important to find lyme literate Dr. that can diagnose clinically...
