TESTS PERFORMED WITH THE MISC. COLLECTION KIT
Using a miscellaneous sample, IGeneX can perform a broad range of serological and molecular tests for Lyme Disease and Tick-Borne Illnesses:
Lyme Disease Tests
Lyme disease is not only caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, but multiple species of Lyme Borreliae can cause the disease. IGeneX’s Lyme disease tests cover most species.
Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever (TBRF) Tests
TBRF is caused by a different group of species of Borrelia from the group that causes Lyme disease. IGeneX’s TBRF tests include testing for Borrelia miyamotoi disease.
