LYME DISEASE BORRELIA BURGDORFERI IgG IMMUNOBLOT Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the LYME DISEASE BORRELIA BURGDORFERI IgG IMMUNOBLOT Test to help diagnose Lyme disease. This test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to an infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi.
Test Details
The Lyme disease IgG immunoblot test is performed on a blood sample. It works by separating and identifying specific proteins from the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria. These proteins are then transferred onto a membrane and exposed to the patient’s blood sample. If the patient has been infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, their immune system will produce antibodies that will bind to these specific proteins on the membrane.
The test results are interpreted based on the presence or absence of specific bands on the membrane. The presence of certain bands indicates the presence of antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi. The interpretation of the test is based on established criteria and guidelines.
Test Cost
The cost of the LYME DISEASE BORRELIA BURGDORFERI IgG IMMUNOBLOT Test is AED 1390.0.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and can lead to various symptoms, including fever, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint aches, and swollen lymph nodes. It can also cause more serious complications if left untreated.
The LYME DISEASE BORRELIA BURGDORFERI IgG IMMUNOBLOT Test is one of several tests used to diagnose Lyme disease. It is typically used in conjunction with other tests, such as the Lyme disease enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or the Lyme disease IgM immunoblot test, to increase the accuracy of diagnosis.
Test Process
To perform the LYME DISEASE BORRELIA BURGDORFERI IgG IMMUNOBLOT Test, a blood sample of 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 SST is required. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen. It is mandatory to fill the Test Send Out Consent Form.
Report Delivery
The sample should be sent by the 7th of the month, and the report will be delivered after 2-3 weeks.
Conclusion
The LYME DISEASE BORRELIA BURGDORFERI IgG IMMUNOBLOT Test offered by DNA Labs UAE is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of Lyme disease. It helps healthcare providers confirm exposure to Borrelia burgdorferi and guide appropriate treatment decisions. If you are experiencing symptoms of Lyme disease or suspect an infection, it is important to consult with a physician and get tested.

The Lyme disease IgG immunoblot test is a diagnostic test used to detect antibodies produced by the immune system in response to an infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease. The test is performed on a blood sample. The immunoblot test works by separating and identifying specific proteins from the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria. These proteins are then transferred onto a membrane and exposed to the patient’s blood sample. If the patient has been infected with Borrelia burgdorferi, their immune system will produce antibodies that will bind to these specific proteins on the membrane. The test results are interpreted based on the presence or absence of specific bands on the membrane. The bands represent different proteins from the bacteria, and the presence of certain bands indicates the presence of antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi. The interpretation of the test is based on established criteria and guidelines. A positive IgG immunoblot test result suggests that the patient has been exposed to Borrelia burgdorferi and has mounted an immune response against the bacteria. However, it does not necessarily indicate an active infection, as the antibodies can persist in the blood even after successful treatment. It is important to note that the IgG immunoblot test is just one of several tests used to diagnose Lyme disease. It is typically used in conjunction with other tests, such as the Lyme disease enzyme immunoassay (EIA) or the Lyme disease IgM immunoblot test, to increase the accuracy of diagnosis. Overall, the IgG immunoblot test is a valuable tool in the diagnosis of Lyme disease, helping healthcare providers confirm exposure to Borrelia burgdorferi and guide appropriate treatment decisions. |
