Description
This panel covers Borrelia – the causative agent of Lyme Disease – in a highly sensitive assay called an EliSpot: a T-cell test that is more likely to show active (although chronic and continuing) infection than the standard tests offered.
This panel also includes coinfections Babesia microti, Bartonella henselae, Ehrlichia and Anaplasma, as T-cell tests. Also TickPlex Basic, an antibody test for Borrelia that is the only one in the world to include the “round body” or cyst form that this pleiomorphic bacteria can also form when hiding. Also common opportunistic bacterial coinfections Chl. pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and the enterobacterium Yersinia enterocolitica.
