What is included?
About this test
The Lyme Disease Antibodies Modified Two-Tier Test evaluates antibodies associated with Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. It begins with a total antibody immunoassay. If the initial result is reactive, additional IgG and IgM antibody testing is performed automatically.
This test may be appropriate for people with symptoms compatible with Lyme disease or a history of possible tick exposure. Results should be interpreted together with symptoms, exposure history, and the timing of possible infection.
Lyme antibody testing is not recommended as routine screening for people without symptoms or suspected exposure. Antibodies may not yet be detectable during the earliest stage of infection, and a positive antibody result does not by itself establish whether an infection is currently active.
