IgG and IgM line blot testing intended as a second-step evaluation after a positive or equivocal initial Lyme antibody test.
What is included?
About this test
The Lyme Disease IgG & IgM Line Blot detects antibodies directed against specific proteins of Borrelia burgdorferi. It reports separate IgG and IgM line blot interpretations along with the individual antibody bands detected.
This test is intended primarily as a second-step evaluation when an initial Lyme antibody screening test has been positive or equivocal. It should not ordinarily be used by itself as the first or only test for suspected Lyme disease.
Results must be interpreted in the context of symptoms, potential tick exposure, the duration of illness, and prior Lyme testing. A positive antibody pattern provides supportive evidence but does not independently determine whether infection is active.
