Lyme Disease (Borrelia Antibodies IgG & IgM)
The Lyme Disease blood test detects antibodies (IgG and IgM) produced in response to infection with Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium responsible for Lyme disease.
Lyme disease is transmitted through tick bites and may cause symptoms such as fatigue, fever, headaches, joint pain, and characteristic skin rashes. If left untreated, infection can progress to affect the joints, nervous system, or heart.
IgM antibodies usually appear earlier in infection, while IgG antibodies develop later and may persist for years.
This test is used to support diagnosis when symptoms and exposure history suggest Lyme disease. Results are interpreted alongside clinical findings and, if necessary, confirmatory testing.
