Does the test only detect active borrelia infections, or does it also identify previous infections?

The test measures both IgM and IgG antibodies. IgM antibodies usually appear early after infection and indicate recent exposure, while IgG antibodies develop later and can remain for a long time. Therefore, the test can indicate both a current and a past borrelia infection.

How quickly are the results shown?

The result can be read within approximately 10 minutes after the sample has been applied to the test cassette.

What type of tick transmits borrelia?

Borrelia is mainly transmitted by ticks of the Ixodes genus, primarily Ixodes ricinus in Europe. It is the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi that is identified in the analysis, not the type of tick that bit the patient.

About Lyme Disease

Lyme disease is caused by bacteria belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi complex, which can be transmitted to humans through tick bites. Once the bacteria enter the body, they may cause an infection known as Lyme borreliosis. An early sign can be a circular skin rash called erythema migrans, although this does not appear in all infected individuals. Other early symptoms may include fever, headache, fatigue, and muscle or joint pain.

What does the Lyme Disease Test (IgG/IgM) measure?

GetTested’s Lyme Disease Test is used for the qualitative detection of IgG and IgM antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi in blood samples. The presence of antibodies indicates exposure to the bacteria, either from a current or previous infection.

How the test works

The test is based on immunochromatographic technology and is used to identify antibodies against Borrelia in blood, serum, or plasma. The result can be interpreted visually within approximately 10 minutes.

Complementary tests

For a more comprehensive overview of the body’s inflammatory status, this test can be combined with GetTested’s CRP Test, which measures the level of C-reactive protein — a biomarker associated with inflammation.

Note

The test is CE-marked and intended for professional use within healthcare settings.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the Europe. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
