Test Overview
The Lyme Disease IgG & IgM Antibody test detects antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi using a quantitative enzyme immunoassay (ELISA/EIA), offering critical diagnostic guidance for early disseminated and late‑stage Lyme borreliosis. يُستخدَم تحليل الأجسام المضادة IgG و IgM لتشخيص داء لايم بدقة عالية، ويساعد في التمييز بين المراحل المبكرة والمزمنة للمرض.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
Clinical Correlation Note from Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011: “I understand that waiting for Lyme test results can evoke anxiety. This assay provides highly reliable serological data, but a definitive diagnosis requires careful integration of your symptoms, tick‑exposure history, and clinical examination findings. Please do not rely on laboratory values alone; always meet your healthcare provider for a comprehensive interpretation.”
⚠️ Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Antibody testing is not a substitute for ongoing antibiotic therapy management.
Safety Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: This test is not recommended for asymptomatic individuals with no documented tick exposure in non‑endemic regions. It should not be used as the sole tool for monitoring treatment response; clinical scoring and follow‑up serologies are required.
- Emergency Red Flags – Seek Immediate Medical Attention if: You develop sudden facial droop (Bells palsy), severe headache with neck stiffness, irregular heartbeats, fainting, or sharp radiating nerve pain in the limbs. These may indicate neuroborreliosis or Lyme carditis.
- Do not draw blood from an arm with known cellulitis or active rash at the puncture site.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive Lyme IgG or IgM result mean?
A positive IgM suggests recent infection (within 2‑4 weeks), while a positive IgG typically indicates past or chronic Lyme exposure. يشير وجود IgM إلى إصابة حديثة (خلال 2-4 أسابيع) بينما يدل IgG الإيجابي على تعرض سابق أو مزمن لداء لايم. However, cross‑reactive antibodies from other spirochetal infections can cause false positives; therefore, repeat testing or immunoblot confirmation is advised in borderline cases.
2. Do I need to fast or prepare specially for this test?
No fasting or special preparation is required; a standard serum sample collected in an SST tube is sufficient. لا يحتاج التحليل إلى صيام أو تحضيرات خاصة؛ يكفي سحب عينة مصل قياسية في أنبوب SST. We do recommend staying hydrated and informing the phlebotomist of any recent antibiotic use, as this may influence the immune response.
3. Can this test differentiate between active and past infection?
The combination of IgM and IgG titers, together with clinical symptoms and exposure history, helps distinguish active from past infection. يساعد الجمع بين قياسات IgM و IgG إلى جانب الأعراض السريرية وتاريخ التعرض في التمييز بين العدوى النشطة والسابقة. In ambiguous cases, paired acute and convalescent sera drawn 2‑4 weeks apart may be necessary to demonstrate a rising antibody response indicative of active borreliosis.
Specimen & Transport: 2 mL serum (minimum 1 mL) collected in a plain or serum separator tube (SST). Ship refrigerated or frozen; our cold‑chain logistics ensure sample stability. No special patient preparation is necessary.
Turnaround: Samples received by Friday 6 PM deliver the report next day. Price: 800 AED (insurance billing supported).
