FAQs
What is the value of these antibody markers?
These antibodies represent a cost-effective ‘first step’ in Borrelia testing, although can be prone to false negatives in late-stage Lyme Disease (due to reduced immune response). If poor antibody response is suspected, consider the more sensitive ‘Western Blot’ test.
