Lyme Test (IgG/IgM)

GetTested's Lyme IgG/IgM Rapid Test

Discovering Lyme Disease and Its Symptoms

Ticks can carry and transmit Lyme disease, which is caused by the Borrelia bacteria. Common symptoms include fever, fatigue, joint pain, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. Early detection is essential for effective treatment and preventing complications.

The Role of IgG and IgM in Lyme Disease Detection

The GetTested Lyme IgG/IgM Rapid Test detects both IgG and IgM antibodies to Borrelia. IgM antibodies typically appear within weeks of infection, indicating recent or ongoing Lyme disease, and can remain elevated in persistent infections. IgG antibodies develop later and can stay in the body for months or years, indicating past exposure.
