The Lyme Disease (Borrelia Abs) test detects antibodies against Borrelia bacteria in a venous blood sample, indicating prior exposure or current infection. It helps clinicians assess whether a patient may have contracted Lyme disease, especially after tick bites or compatible symptoms.
About this treatment
The Lyme Disease (Borrelia Abs) test is a single‑marker serology assay that looks for antibodies directed against Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. A venous blood sample is collected, and the laboratory determines whether specific antibodies are present, which may suggest recent or past infection. This information may support clinicians in deciding whether further clinical evaluation, treatment, or follow‑up testing is needed after a tick exposure or when patients present with characteristic symptoms such as rash or joint pain. Results are generally returned within the laboratory’s standard processing time. The price includes the blood draw, antibody analysis, and a comprehensive report with a brief tele‑consultation to discuss the findings and next steps. This test is suited for individuals who suspect Lyme disease after outdoor exposure.
