Lees ik het nou goed dat seronegativiteit van Lyme kan optreden door een co-infectie met een langdurig chronisch ziekte verloop, iemand?

Net als door onder andere dr. Richard Horowitz worden ook persisterende co infecties beschreven door Professor C. Perronne, zie bijlage hieronder

“In patients with persistent symptoms, I think the number with co-infections is almost 100%. I only have a few patients with classic Lyme.” - Elke Schäfer

SURVEY: Lyme disease co-infections

The survey remains open, and results will be updated as they accumulate. These results are based on the first 200 respondents to the survey.

The survey is so far indicating that 94% of UK patients with Lyme disease have at least one co-infection. Despite this high level, 75% of patients who have responded to the survey so far have reported that they do NOT feel they have been fully assessed or tested for all likely co-infections.

About Lyme Disease Co-Infections;

Coinfections may be common – at least among those with chronic Lyme disease. A recently published LDo survey over 3,000 patients with chronic Lyme disease found that over 50% had coinfections, with 30% reporting two or more coinfections. The most common coinfections were Babesia (32%), Bartonella (28%), Ehrlichia (15%), Mycoplasma (15%), Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (6%), Anaplasma (5%), and Tularemia (1%). A similar study in Canada found similar rates of coinfection in patients with chronic Lyme disease:

What Are Lyme Disease Co-Infections? 7 Common Infections & How To Stop Them

Lyme disease has traditionally been thought of as an infection of the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. But more and more, researchers are coming to understand that ticks carry not only multiple species of Borrelia but also carry many other bacteria known as Lyme co-infections. When people are sick with Lyme disease, they are usually also infected with multiple Lyme co-infections as well.

While it was previously believed that each species of bacteria has a specific set of symptoms that it and only it causes, it's actually more complicated than that, Bill Rawls, MD, an integrative health expert on Lyme disease and other chronic illnesses, tells Bustle. Genetic variations, as well as what other microbes someone's carrying, will affect how their body responds to a particular infection. So, although there seem to be some patterns with particular co-infections, it's very difficult to say which bacteria are causing what symptoms in any given person.

Another thing to understand about Lyme co-infections, along with Lyme disease itself, is that simply carrying them doesn't necessarily mean you will be sick. In fact, some of them are carried by most people. Illness arises when the immune system malfunctions and allows the bacteria to take over, Dr. Rawls says. Carrying Lyme co-infections also doesn't necessarily mean you got them from a tick, he says. Many of them can be transmitted in other ways, although immune suppression from Lyme disease can cause them to become active even if they were latent before.

Co-infecties algemeen;

Het aantal co-infecties in teken is relatief hoog en voor lymepatiënten bestaat een reële kans dat ze nog met een ander micro-organisme dan Borrelia geïnfecteerd zijn. Het is aannemelijk dat sommige co-infecties de genezing van lymepatiënten ernstig bemoeilijken. Patiënten die na een antibioticabehandeling geen verbetering ondervinden zouden getest kunnen worden op co-infecties.

Andere ziekten door teken en co-infecties;

Een van de andere ziekteverwekkers die door teken overgedragen kan worden is het Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBE virus).

Andere tekenoverdraagbare ziekteverwekkers die gevonden worden in teken in Nederland zijn Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia miyamotoi, Neoehrlichia mikurensis, Babesia en Rickettsia soorten. Van deze tekenoverdraagbare ziekten is nog onduidelijk of en hoe vaak deze bij mensen voorkomen in Nederland.

We weten wel dat 30 procent van de teken één of meer van deze ziekteverwekkers bij zich draagt
