What's this test for?
This test is ideal if you've been bitten by a tick or spent time in areas where Lyme disease is common and are experiencing symptoms like joint pain, fatigue, fever, or a bullseye rash. It helps confirm whether you have antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, which is important for getting proper treatment. Many people use this test when they suspect Lyme disease but need definitive confirmation after an initial screening test comes back positive or unclear.
How should I prepare for this test?
No special preparation is typically required for this test. However, it's important to note that this is a confirmatory test meant to follow a positive or unclear initial Lyme screening result. The CDC does not recommend using this immunoblot test as a first step, as it may lead to false positives if used alone. Results typically take about 7 business days, though this may be extended if additional confirmation testing is needed.
What's included in this test?
This immunoblot test examines specific antibody bands (both IgG and IgM types) that your immune system produces in response to Lyme disease bacteria. It looks at multiple protein markers at different molecular weights (like 23, 39, and 41 Kd bands) to provide highly specific confirmation of Lyme disease exposure. This detailed antibody profile helps distinguish true Lyme infection from false positives and is the gold standard second-step test recommended by the CDC after an initial screening.
What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining whether Lyme disease antibodies were detected and what that means for your health. These notes include guidance on next steps, such as whether antibiotic treatment may be needed, how to monitor ongoing symptoms, or when follow-up testing might be helpful. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your antibody levels over time using our trends feature, which is especially useful if you're monitoring treatment progress or recovery.
When will I get my results?
Results are typically available within 7 business days after your sample reaches the lab. If additional confirmation testing is required, the turnaround time may be extended. You'll be notified as soon as your results are ready, and you can access them online along with easy-to-understand doctor notes explaining what your antibody results mean.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is specifically for people who have already had a positive or indeterminate Lyme disease screening test and need confirmation. It's also appropriate if you have symptoms consistent with Lyme disease, a history of tick exposure, and live in or have visited areas where Lyme is common (particularly the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Upper Midwest regions). Your doctor may recommend this if you've had the characteristic bullseye rash or are experiencing ongoing joint pain, neurological symptoms, or fatigue after potential tick exposure.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common early symptoms of Lyme disease include a circular bullseye rash around the tick bite, fever, headache, fatigue, and muscle aches. Later symptoms can include severe joint pain and swelling (especially in the knees), shooting pains or numbness, heart palpitations, dizziness, or neurological problems like facial paralysis. If you've had tick exposure and experience any of these symptoms, especially the characteristic rash, this confirmatory test may be warranted after initial screening.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive immunoblot result means specific Lyme disease antibodies were detected in your blood, confirming exposure to the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. This indicates you likely have or had a Lyme infection that requires or required treatment. It's important to discuss results with your healthcare provider, as they'll determine if antibiotic treatment is needed based on your symptoms, exposure history, and how long you may have been infected.
What does a negative result mean?
A negative immunoblot result means specific Lyme disease antibodies were not detected at levels meeting CDC criteria for a positive diagnosis. However, if you were tested very early after tick exposure (within the first few weeks), antibodies may not have developed yet and retesting may be needed. A negative result combined with a negative screening test generally rules out Lyme disease, though your doctor may consider other conditions if symptoms persist.
How can I prevent Lyme disease exposure?
Prevent tick bites by wearing long sleeves and pants when in wooded or grassy areas, using EPA-approved insect repellent containing DEET, and walking in the center of trails away from vegetation. After outdoor activities, do thorough tick checks on yourself, children, and pets, and shower within two hours if possible. Remove any attached ticks promptly with fine-tipped tweezers by grasping close to the skin and pulling straight up, as transmission risk increases after 36-48 hours of attachment.
