About Our Lyme Disease Antibodies Test

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks, commonly known as deer ticks. These ticks are often found in wooded or grassy areas and may attach to animals such as deer, squirrels, chipmunks, and other wildlife before potentially biting humans.

Early symptoms of Lyme disease may include fever, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint aches, and a characteristic bull’s eye rash. If left untreated, Lyme disease can progress and affect the joints, heart, and nervous system. Early detection is critical to prevent long-term complications.

This Lyme Disease Antibody Test is a highly sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay screening test designed to detect antibodies produced by your immune system in response to infection. Because of its high sensitivity, the test offers a broader window period for accurate antibody detection.

If the screening test is positive, confirmatory immunoblot testing is automatically performed on the same blood sample at no additional charge. This two-step approach increases accuracy and ensures reliable results.

What Is Included In This Test?

This test includes:

Lyme disease antibody screening using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methodology
High-sensitivity antibody detection
Automatic confirmatory immunoblot testing if the initial result is positive
Clear laboratory results for clinical interpretation

This is an antibody test and does not directly detect the bacteria itself.

Why Does This Test Matter?

Lyme disease can be difficult to diagnose based on symptoms alone because early symptoms may resemble flu-like illness. Laboratory testing helps confirm whether your immune system has responded to infection.

Prompt detection allows for early treatment, which significantly reduces the risk of long-term complications such as chronic joint pain, neurological symptoms, or cardiac involvement.

For individuals who spend time outdoors, hike, camp, or live in areas where ticks are common, testing provides clarity and peace of mind after possible exposure.

Accurate screening combined with confirmatory testing ensures dependable results that you and your healthcare provider can trust.

Who Should Consider This Test?

You may consider this test if you:

Were bitten by a tick
Spend time in wooded or grassy areas
Live in or have traveled to areas where Lyme disease is common
Are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, fever, or rash
Have unexplained neurological or cardiac symptoms
Want to rule out Lyme disease after potential exposure

Common Questions:

How common is Lyme disease?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 300,000 people are diagnosed with Lyme disease in the United States every year. Many who are bitten by ticks never even realize it, especially since the bite of younger (nymph) ticks are painless. The longer a tick is attached to a person, the higher their chances of developing Lyme disease are.

What are the complications with Lyme Disease?

Lyme disease is often misdiagnosed as arthritis, fibromyalgia, multiple sclerosis, and other illnesses like chronic fatigue syndrome, so it is important to get tested if you are experiencing any symptoms so you can be prescribed the right treatment.

If you don’t get tested and it remains untreated, long-term damage to the heart, joints, and nervous system can occur.

What are the symptoms of Lyme disease?

Symptoms of Lyme disease change as it progresses in the body, but a rash can occur between three days to several weeks after the tick bite. The rash is the most identifiable symptom of Lyme disease and happens in about 70-80% of diagnosed cases.

Common Lyme disease symptoms include:

A characteristic bullseye shaped rash
Fever
Headaches
Fatigue
Stiff neck
Nausea

Less common Lyme disease symptoms include:

Joint pain
Weakness in the limbs
Temporary paralysis of the muscles in the face
Irregular heartbeat
