Lyme Antibody, Total (IgG IgM)
The Lyme Antibody, Total (IgG, IgM) detects antibodies against the bacteria that cause Lyme disease, Borrelia burgdorferi. This test combines measurements of both IgG and IgM antibodies, providing information on both recent and past exposure to the bacterium, which is crucial for diagnosing Lyme disease.
Lyme Antibody, IgM
The Lyme Antibody, IgM test specifically measures the IgM antibodies in the blood that are produced as an early immune response to the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, the cause of Lyme disease. Elevated IgM levels typically indicate a recent infection and are used to aid in the diagnosis of Lyme disease, particularly in its early stages.
Lyme Antibody, Western Blot IgG
The Lyme Antibody, Western Blot IgG is a diagnostic method used to detect IgM antibodies specific to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease. IgG antibodies are a sign of an older infection.
Lyme Antibody, Western Blot IgM
The Lyme Antibody, Western Blot IgM is a diagnostic method used to detect IgM antibodies specific to Borrelia burgdorferi. IgM antibodies indicate a relatively recent infection. IgM antibodies usually disappear after eight weeks post-exposure.
