What is Borrelia Burgdorferi (Lyme disease) Antibodies, IgG, Serum?

This blood test looks for IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria causing Lyme disease. IgG antibodies typically appear weeks after infection and can indicate a later stage or past exposure.

Why is this test important?

A positive IgG result, especially when combined with symptoms, suggests a later stage or chronic Lyme disease. It helps in diagnosing persistent or past infections.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
