hi Deb,
When I was first diagnosed with SAA, I was tested for all of those by an infectious disease doctor, but I think it was more that they were trying to find a cause for the AA, also to see if I had those, too. I had just been through treatment for Lyme disease. Also, apparently, a lot of the tick-borne diseases, as viruses, can trigger an aplastic 'crisis', which then resolves itself. I tested negative for all but the Lyme, and it was eventually decided that the Lyme disease was not the cause of my AA, but was coincidental.
Good luck,
Gloria
