• Far broader and more inclusive of TBRF Borreliae (including, but not limited to, B. miyamotoi) species than standard serologies.
• Detects antibodies to TBRF Borrelia species from North American, European and Australian strains.
• Provides a simple, cost-effective, yes/no result with no complicated interpretation necessary
Positive: TBRF Borreliae group-specific antigens detected.
Negative: TBRF Borreliae group-specific antigens not detected
A positive result suggests exposure to TBRF Borrelia. For diagnostic purposes, immunoblot test results should be used in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other evidence available to the diagnosing physician. If the test result is indeterminate, testing with another method or retesting in 6-8 weeks is recommended.
