About The Test

Test Overview

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is transmitted through a bite from an infected tick. It often creates a bull’s eye rash and flu-like symptoms. If left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems. This test identifies if you have been exposed to the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.

Test Includes

Reflexed when appropriate

Reflex testing refers to laboratory testing that is performed subsequent to initial test results and used to further identify significant diagnostic information for appropriate patient care.

Lyme Antibody, Total (IgG IgM)

The Lyme Antibody, Total (IgG, IgM) detects antibodies against the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi. This test combines measurements of both IgG and IgM antibodies, providing information on both recent and past exposure to the bacterium, which is crucial for diagnosing Lyme disease.

Lyme Antibody, IgM

The Lyme Antibody, IgM test specifically measures the IgM antibodies in the blood that are produced as an early immune response to the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, the cause of Lyme disease. Elevated IgM levels typically indicate a recent infection and are used to aid in the diagnosis of Lyme disease, particularly in its early stages.

Lyme Antibody, Western Blot IgG

The Lyme Antibody, Western Blot IgG is a diagnostic method used to detect IgM antibodies specific to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease. IgG antibodies are a sign of an older infection.

Lyme Antibody, Western Blot IgM

The Lyme Antibody, Western Blot IgM is a diagnostic method used to detect IgM antibodies specific to Borrelia burgdorferi. IgM antibodies indicate a relatively recent infection. IgM antibodies usually disappear after eight weeks post-exposure.

Understanding Results

In the United States, a single tick could make a person sick with several diseases at the same time. Possible co-infections include Lyme borreliosis, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Powassan virus, and B. miyamotoi infection.
