Lyme disease is based on subjective data. It is a clinical diagnosis. If the symptoms fit, then it is rightly diagnosed. The blood tests are more than 40 years old and are notorious for false-negative results. It is a two-tiered testing system including the ELISA with reflex to Western blot. The ELISA has to be positive in order for them to reflexively run a Western blot. More often than not, the ELISA is falsely negative.
