Lyme Lab - Immunosciences lab Panel A

This is only available to our patients

Lyme disease is the most prevalent vector-borne disease of humans in the United States. Originally thought to be just a form of arthritis, it is now known that its symptoms and effects include neurologic, cardiac and dermatologic elements as well. The agent of the disease is the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transferred to humans through the bite of a tick, with the deer tick Ixodes scapularis being the prime vector in North America.
