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.

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.
