I don't know but in my understanding of the 57 is that it is a marker

to tell how you are doing. I think that it gives the doctors an idea where you

are at in your immune system. I have had one test after antibiotics. My doc felt

I was ok to go off abt. Since than I have had a relapse. And now am on herbs. I

am not in the same state as my doc and going to different doc, not so lyme

literate. Maybe I should ask for another 57 test to see where I am. Margo ps,

I too, would like to know more opinions on this test.

When I researched this, I didn't find a lot of info. My doctor who is

not a Lyme doctor, didn't think much of it. Since he didn't know a lot

about it, he asked his colleagues (who I don't think were Lyme

experts) and they didn't know how to use any info it would provide.

And neither do I.

I would suggest before you get the test, be sure you know how to

interpret the results so it will be of use to you. And then, if you

do get it, I'd be interested to know the results and what they tell you.

best,
