Lyme disease package

Lyme disease, transmitted by ticks, can lead to serious health problems if not properly diagnosed and treated. The Lyme Disease Package is a comprehensive diagnostic proposal aimed at detecting antibodies produced by the body in response to infection with Borrelia burgdorferi. This is particularly important in cases where previous Lyme disease tests have returned negative results, but the patient is experiencing symptoms suggesting the disease.

The package includes:

• Serological tests that detect antibodies in the blood. The package includes tests selected for comprehensive Lyme disease diagnosis. The best reagents available on the market ensure high detection efficiency of the spirochete in the body.
• Screening tests for the presence of B. burgdorferi antibodies of the IgG and IgM classes using the chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) method.
• Confirmation tests using the Western Blot method, which allows precise confirmation of infection presence.

The combination of these two methods provides optimal diagnostic sensitivity, enabling the recognition of both early and late stages of Lyme disease. This increases the chances of a faster correct diagnosis and timely implementation of effective treatment.

When should you take this test package?

• If previous serological test results were inconclusive and worrisome symptoms appeared, such as erythema migrans (a circular skin lesion at the tick bite site), which may suggest an active infection.
• This package is also recommended for individuals who want to conduct a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation for Borrelia burgdorferi infection, especially when there are suspicions of the disease but no clear symptoms.

Tested Material:
The tested material is serum from blood.

Preparation for the Test:
The blood sample should be taken on an empty stomach, at least 10-12 hours after the last meal, in the morning between 7:30 AM and 10:00 AM.
