- Borrelia Burgdorferi Igm
This test detects IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, which is transmitted through tick bites.
It helps diagnose early Lyme disease, typically within the first few weeks after exposure when symptoms like fever, fatigue, and rash may occur.
A blood sample is analyzed using ELISA and confirmed by Western blot to detect Borrelia-specific IgM antibodies.
A positive IgM result indicates recent infection, though false positives are possible. Results must be interpreted alongside symptoms and other test results.
No special preparation is required.
