Lyme Disease Borrelia Burgdorferi IgG IgM Immunoblot Test
Introduction
The Lyme Disease Borrelia Burgdorferi IgG IgM Immunoblot Test is an essential diagnostic tool for detecting Lyme disease, an infection caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria. This test is particularly important for individuals who have been exposed to tick habitats, as early detection can significantly impact treatment outcomes.
What the Test Measures
This test measures the presence of antibodies (IgG and IgM) against the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria in the blood. The presence of these antibodies indicates whether a person has been exposed to the bacteria and if they are currently infected.

Benefits of Taking the Test

- Guidance for appropriate treatment options.
- Peace of mind for those experiencing unexplained symptoms.
- Early detection can prevent complications associated with untreated Lyme disease.
