Hi,

I'm European and my blood type is A-.

I'm currently taking abx for Lyme. Doctor was curious if I was bitten as a

child in the Pyrenees Mountains.

O positive. that said, I'm not sure I would have ever guessed 'lyme' from my

symptoms until an intuitive suggested I get tested, as they are mild compared to

what I hear from many people, and diffuse. I do have the HLA types associated

with autoimmune issues from lyme though.

? I never heard about HLA / autoimmune markers associated with Lyme. There is

some research in that area, but most of that seems highly speculative .

Was this an official medical diagnosis?

[Guest guest]

The last LLMD I saw checked my HLA type. Basically, she is of the mind that

lyme has a lot of different 'shapes' on it (antigen receptors I think she meant,

or antibody receptors???), and that some of them also look like EBV, other

viruses, etc. And then, some people have an HLA type where the 'shapes' on your

own cells are similar to some of those on the Bb cells, resulting in

exacerbation of the inflammation you are already experiencing. The treatment is

nothing beyond what you already do to kill the Bb and reduce inflammation, and

she thinks it settles down as the infection is managed. So, it's interesting

info/interesting idea, but I don't know if it means anything in terms of

therapy.

OK, this is probably about the HLA-type markers for Lyme arthritis that Steere

etc. are researching lately. From what I remember, if you have these markers the

Bb infection is far more difficult to clear in the joints, so the disease

process is chronic (for Steere this does not prove that Bb persists, although

they cannot prove it is auto-immune either). Probably only applies to Bb ss, the

American flavor of LD.

I don't think HLA-A antigens have anything to do with the ABO blood type system.

HLA stand for human leukocyte antigen. These antigens are found on all

nucleated cells of the body. Red blood cells are not nucleated.

thanks for correcting, you are right. But I still wonder if there is a

statistical correlation. Blood group A has a statistical correlation with

European origin, I guess there are similar associations with various HLA

antigens? I found several articles online about statistical correlation between

these two marker systems for various diseases, so the same could be true for LD.
