Lyme Tests and Lyme Test Panels

Also known as tick borne borreliosis or Lyme arthritis, Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia Burgdorferi (Bb), which was originally thought to be transmitted only by the Ixodes tick. In addition to ticks, Bb may be carried and transmitted by fleas, mosquitoes, and mites. Lyme disease has been called the New Great Imitator because, like syphilis, it attacks multiple organ systems and mimics many diseases.

Testing for Lyme Disease is complicated and few doctors are trained in knowing what tests to order. Because of this many people have Lyme Disease and have never been diagnosed properly. We have an extensive array of tests and the knowledge to go with this knowledge to properly make a diagnosis of Lyme Disease.
