Burrascano opina que lo único que puede causar un descenso de CD 57 es la Borreliosis.
Te copio todo lo que hace referencia a este marcador en su "DIAGNOSTIC HINTS AND TREATMENT
GUIDELINES FOR LYME AND OTHER TICK BORNE ILLNESSES" del 2005:
..."Chronic Lyme is an altogether different illness than earlier stages, mainly because of the inhibitory effect on
the immune system (Bb has been demonstrated
in vitro to both inhibit and kill B- and T-cells, and willdecrease the count of the CD-57 subset of the natural killer cells)...
DIAGNOSING LATER DISEASE
When reactive, serologies indicate exposure only and do not directly indicate whether the spirochete is now
currently present. Because Bb serologies often give inconsistent results, test at well-known reference
laboratories. The suggestion that two-tiered testing, utilizing an ELISA as a screening tool, followed, if
positive, by a confirmatory western blot, is illogical in this illness. The ELISA is not sensitive enough to serve
as an adequate screen, and there are many patients with Lyme who test negative by ELISA yet have fully
diagnostic western blots. I therefore recommend against using the ELISA. Order IgM and IgG western blotsbut
be aware that in late disease there may be repeatedly peaking IgM's and therefore a reactive IgM may not
differentiate early from late disease, but it does suggest an active infection. When late cases of LB are
seronegative, 36% will transiently become seropositive at the completion of successful therapy. In chronic
Lyme Borreliosis, the CD-57 count is both useful and important (see below)...
THE CD-57 TEST
Our ability to measure CD-57 counts represents a breakthrough in LB diagnosis and treatment.
Chronic LB infections are known to suppress the immune system and can decrease the quantity of the CD-57
subset of the natural killer cells. As in HIV infection, where abnormally low T-cell counts are routinely used as
a marker of how active that infection is, in LB we can use the degree of decrease of the CD-57 count to
indicate how active the Lyme infection is and whether, after treatment ends, a relapse is likely to occur. It can
even be used as a simple, inexpensive screening test, because at this point we believe that only Borrelia will
depress the CD-57. Thus, a sick patient with a high CD-57 is probably ill with something other than Lyme,
such as a co-infection.
When this test is run by LabCorp (the currently preferred lab, as published studies were based on their
assays), we want our Lyme patients to measure above 60; a normal count is above 200. There generally is
some degree of fluctuation of this count over time, and the number does not progressively increase as
treatment proceeds. Instead, it remains low until the LB infection is controlled, and then it will jump. If the CD-
57 count is not in the normal range when a course of antibiotics is ended, then a relapse will almost certainly
occur"...
Tambien dice que esta deficiencia se puede tratar con extracto de esporas de Reishi, que según tengo entendido
es un hongo usado en medicina tradicional china.
