Test Overview & Methodology
The Lyme IgG Immunoblot test detects specific IgG antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, confirming past or late-stage Lyme disease with high specificity. It is the gold standard confirmatory step following a positive screening ELISA, differentiating true infection from cross-reactive antibodies. The test is performed under DHA licensure and ISO-certified protocols.
| Feature | Our Test (Immunoblot IgG) | Closest Alternative (IgM/IgG ELISA) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision / Method | High-specificity immunoblot, gold standard confirmatory | Screening ELISA, may yield false-positives |
| Speed | 2โ3 weeks after sample cut-off | 1โ2 weeks |
| Suitability | Confirmation of suspected Lyme disease per CDC two-tier protocol | Initial screening only; requires confirmation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a DHA-licensed General Practitioner (DHA 36234132), I advise that a positive IgG immunoblot result must be correlated with clinical presentation and tick exposure history. This test confirms past or late-stage infection but should not replace a thorough medical evaluation. Always consult your physician before starting or stopping any treatment.โ โ Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner
Advisory & Safety Protocols
Do not discontinue prescribed antibiotics or other medications without consulting your doctor. This test is for diagnostic confirmation and does not supersede professional medical advice. Results should be interpreted by a qualified clinician.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion Criteria: Active febrile illness without prior physician evaluation; recent immunosuppressive therapy; insufficient sample volume (less than 1 mL serum).
- Emergency Red Flags: Severe headache with neck stiffness, facial droop (Bell's palsy), joint swelling with inability to bear weight, heart palpitations or fainting. Seek immediate emergency care if any of these develop.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does the Lyme IgG Immunoblot test detect, and how is it different from an ELISA?
The Lyme IgG Immunoblot identifies antibodies to specific Borrelia burgdorferi proteins to confirm true infection. It serves as the confirmatory second step after a positive ELISA, offering high specificity to eliminate false-positive results common in screening assays.
2. When should I take this test after a tick bite?
IgG antibodies typically develop four to six weeks after infection, so testing earlier may produce false-negative results. We recommend waiting at least four weeks post-exposure, especially if an erythema migrans rash or early symptoms appear, to ensure accurate detection.
