Hello I'm new to the site and just got diagnosed with lupus. I got a copy of my labs back and noticed my lyme AB Reflex test came back at 1.23 which is said to be high. Does anyone know what this test is for?

Hi Jen!

Your doctor was testing to see if you have been exposed to Lyme disease. The test can be positive for other reasons, so you'll have to have a Western Blot test done, as well.

Here's a link to more information.
