BLOOD COLLECTION KIT

For most patients, ordering a Blood Collection Kit is the first step in getting tested for Lyme disease or other tick-borne diseases. We also offer a Urine Collection Kit and Miscellaneous Collection Kit, but most tick-borne disease tests offered by IGeneX are compatible with the Blood Collection Kit.

Please note that the Blood Collection Kit is not the actual test, but rather a kit for collecting the blood that will be tested. This is also not an at-home blood collection kit. You need to work with a doctor to order your tests, as well as a blood draw lab to collect your sample. You will then send everything to IGeneX for testing.

$20.00 (This is a non-refundable deposit that will be deducted from your testing fees.)

TESTS PERFORMED WITH THE BLOOD COLLECTION KIT

Using a blood 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.

Bartonella Tests
Bartonellosis includes, but is not limited to, Cat Scratch Disease (CSD) and Trench Fever. IGeneX’s multi-species Western Blots include testing for Bartonella henselae, Bartonella quintana, Bartonella elizabethae, and Bartonella vinsonii.

Babesia Tests
Multiple species of Babesia cause babesiosis, and our tests include Babesia microti and Babesia duncani, both of which are found throughout the USA.

Rickettsia Tests
Multiple species of Rickettsia cause rickettsiosis, and one of those species, Rickettsia rickettsia, is known to cause Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF). IGeneX tests for Rickettsia rickettsia, Rickettsia typhi, and Rickettsia felis.

Anaplasma Tests
IGeneX tests for Anaplasma phagocytophilum (HGA), one of the causative agents of Anaplasmosis. The same ticks that transmit Lyme disease are known to carry Anaplasma.

Ehrlichia Tests
IGeneX tests for Ehrlichia chaffeesis (HME), one of the causative agents of Ehrlichiosis. The same ticks that transmit Lyme disease are known to carry Ehrlichia.

IB1 Panel Review

My first Lyme test with my primary care doctor did not show a positive, but my symptoms persisted for another six months. I did some herbal therapy which helped ease the aches and nausea, but I still did not feel great and felt I need another test. I chose to get tested at IGeneX after talking with a Lyme literate doctor. The test showed positive for Lyme. It was expensive, but I think worth it ultimately.

IGeneX has been terrific

My Lyme Literate Medical Doctor (LLMD) has been using IGeneX many years before me and I am using IGeneX for over 12 years now. They have always been timely and accurate with my blood results. IGeneX has provided excellent customer service all thee years.

Found Babesia after 4 years of suffering in bed

Doctors couldn't find what was wrong with me, IgeneX did. With their improved sensitivity and specifity both surpassing 90%, I am absolutely confident in my results not being a false positive or false negative.

Great Test!

I was so happy with my iGeneX testing. It was the only clear way to find out whether I still had lyme, babesia, and bartonella. My doctor and I both thought that I still had them, but I ended up being clear of all three, so it was well worth the money! I am now able to move on and build back up.

Testing

This is the best test to do, most complete test and I highly recommend it to all people who even could possibly have LYME! Make sure you also have a Lyme Literate Dr.

Happy with results

I gave four stars only due to some admin issues like my kit shipment was stuck and my address was twisted even though I didn’t make a mistake. Other than that, this test changed MY LIFE. I will not stop talking to others about this test. My insurance also covered the test partially if this might be useful for anyone to know.

My doctor recommended igenex, and I've recently sent off my lab work. My experience thus far has been excellent , all of my questions have been answered! I have heard and read nothing but great stuff about hygienics and hope that this continues to be true for me in the future!!! Thank you! Nan

International testing

My wife has chronic Lyme disease and we live in New Zealand and so can't get testing done in this country because it's not endemic. Over the years we've used Igenex and are very pleased with their communication about the complicated process of an international testing process and with the efficiency of reporting results

ease of use

i am unaccustomed to this kind of test, so it was a little confusing to find an office & get it done, but the staff was quite helpful in all regards. i went to the wrong office of the chosen blood-draw lab, but they directed me to a lab closer to my home. i think in a ways, they are concerned with making it as easy as possible for the patient, which i find reassuring. as i said the whole process works like that, so they have the lab send the samples instead of letting m do it, which is good, because they are more likely to do it correctly. all in all, i appreciated the phone advice, the courtesy and knowledge of the customer service personnel, and - again - the ease.
