Where did you have the lyme test done? If the blood was sent anywhere other than Igenex lab I wouldn't trust the results. That said, lyme is diagnosed primarily by symptoms, not tests. If you suspect your daughter has Lyme you really should get her to an LLMD - lyme literate medical doctor. This is a specialist in lyme disease. I wouldn't trust her diagnosis or treatment to any other type of doctor. Also read the sticky at the top of this board titled "lyme newbies". I wish you all the best with this.
