Lyme Disease
This test detects antibodies (both IgG and IgM) that the body produces in response to the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. This test is only available at Quest Diagnostics.
B. burgdorferi can cause Lyme disease, a serious illness primarily contracted from tick bites. The most distinctive symptom is a bull’s eye rash around the tick bite, but that does not occur in all cases. Lyme can also cause flu-like symptoms of fever, headache, fatigue, and joint aches.
This test measures antibody levels. It can take 2-3 weeks after exposure for antibodies to be detectable. A positive result will be confirmed by a second test using another method, called the Western Blot.
This two-step testing process is consistent with the recommendations provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to assess for Lyme disease.
Test results may take 3-5 business days.
