The Lyme Disease Antibodies (IgG, IgM) test detects antibodies produced in response to Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness. This test helps diagnose current or past infections by measuring specific antibody levels. Early detection is crucial for effective treatment, as untreated Lyme disease can lead to serious complications. If you suspect exposure to ticks or are experiencing symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, or rashes, this test can provide valuable insights into your health.

About This Test

Reason to Check It

"Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted by ticks. A screening test with high sensitivity is used as the first step in the CDC recommended algorithm. Immunoblot testing qualitatively examines, with high specificity, antibodies in a patient's specimen. Immunoblot testing is appropriate for confirming a detected screening result." - Dr. Alan Hopkins

Test Preparation

  • No special preparation is required before your sample collection.


Please Note: We recommend overnight fasting and an early morning blood draw for all tests, even if no special preparation is required. Remember, it is OK to drink plenty of water. Drinking water helps hydrate you and makes it easier for the phlebotomist to obtain your blood sample.
