Lyme Disease - Western Blot
$220 AUD
Lyme disease is a tick-borne infection caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. The first symptom is usually a characteristic pink or red rash that starts as a small red spot that gradually spreads in a much larger circle. Note that Lyme disease has never been proven to be present in Australia and cases are typically linked to overseas travel.
What we test
Western Blot
The Lyme Western Blot is a qualitative immunoassay in which antibodies specific to the B. burgdorferi antigens on a membrane strip are visualized. It is a qualitative test and is generally more sensitive and specific than the ELISA and IFA tests.
