LYME DISEASE (BORRELIA BURGDORFERI) IgG & IgM IMMUNOBLOT Test

Do you experience unexplained fatigue, fever, headache, and joint pain? If yes, then it might be possible that you are suffering from Lyme disease. Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that is transmitted through the bite of an infected tick. The disease is caused by a bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. If left untreated, Lyme disease can cause severe neurological and cardiac complications. Therefore, it is essential to diagnose and treat it as early as possible. One of the most reliable diagnostic tests for Lyme disease is the IgG & IgM immunoblot test.

What is the IgG & IgM immunoblot test?

The IgG & IgM immunoblot test is a serological test that detects antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi in the blood. The test is performed by using a strip that contains purified proteins from the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium. The strip is incubated with the patient’s blood sample, and if the patient has been infected with the bacterium, the antibodies present in the blood will bind to the proteins on the strip. The bound antibodies are then detected using a special dye.

What are the symptoms of Lyme disease?

Lyme disease can cause a range of symptoms that may vary from person to person. Some of the common symptoms of Lyme disease include:

• Fever
• Headache
• Joint pain and swelling
• Fatigue
• Stiff neck
• Rash at the site of the tick bite
• Facial palsy (drooping or weakness of facial muscles)

How is Lyme disease diagnosed?

Lyme disease is diagnosed by a combination of clinical symptoms and laboratory tests. The IgG & IgM immunoblot test is one of the most reliable laboratory tests for the diagnosis of Lyme disease. Other laboratory tests that may be used to diagnose Lyme disease include:

• Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test
• Western blot test
• PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test

What is the cost of the IgG & IgM immunoblot test in India?

The cost of the IgG & IgM immunoblot test for Lyme disease in India varies from one lab to another. On average, the cost of the test in India is around INR 22000.

Conclusion

Lyme disease is a serious bacterial infection that can cause severe complications if left untreated. The IgG & IgM immunoblot test is one of the most reliable laboratory tests for the diagnosis of Lyme disease. If you experience any symptoms of Lyme disease, it is essential to consult a doctor and get tested as early as possible.
