Lyme Disease Ab Immunotblot (IgG, IgM)
PROVIDER INITIATED TEST - The Lyme Disease Antibody Immunoblot (IgG, IgM) test is a confirmatory blood test used to detect antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. This test identifies specific IgM and IgG antibodies and is typically performed after a positive or equivocal Lyme antibody screening test.
IgM antibodies may indicate a more recent infection, while IgG antibodies suggest longer-term or past exposure. This test helps confirm Lyme disease diagnosis and reduce false-positive results when screening tests are inconclusive.
It is commonly ordered when symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, neurological symptoms, or a history of tick exposure are present and initial screening results require confirmation.
