The Lyme Disease IgG Antibody Immunoblot Test confirms exposure to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. It detects IgG antibodies, which usually appear weeks after infection and remain present for months to years. Doctors use this test to confirm a positive screening result, evaluate late-stage Lyme symptoms, and support diagnosis in patients with joint pain, fatigue, or neurological complications from suspected Lyme disease.
The Lyme Disease IgG IgM Antibodies Immunoblot Test detects antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria causing Lyme disease. IgM indicates recent infection, while IgG suggests past or ongoing infection. Doctors order this test to confirm exposure after ELISA screening or when symptoms such as rash, fatigue, joint pain, or neurological issues appear. Results provide critical insight for diagnosing and managing Lyme disease with greater accuracy.
The Lyme Disease Antibody Test with Reflex to Blot IgG IgM screens for antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. If results are positive or equivocal, a Western blot IgG/IgM is reflexively performed for confirmation. Doctors order this test for patients with tick exposure, rash, joint pain, or neurological symptoms. Results help confirm infection, guide treatment decisions, and support early detection to prevent complications.
