The Borrelia burgdorferi IgG test measures the presence of IgG antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria in the blood. This bacterium is the causative agent of Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness.
The test is done on a blood sample to detect whether a person has been exposed to the bacteria, particularly during later stages of infection, as IgG antibodies typically develop weeks to months after infection.

    Why It’s Done

    This test is ordered to:
    1. Diagnose Lyme Disease
    • To detect past or ongoing infection by Borrelia burgdorferi, especially in patients with symptoms like rash, joint pain, fatigue, or neurological signs.
    2. Confirm Infection Stage
    • IgG antibodies appear later in infection, helping to confirm chronic or later-stage Lyme disease.
    3. Monitor Response to Treatment
    • To help evaluate effectiveness of antibiotic therapy over time.

    Preparation

    1. Fasting
    • No fasting is required.
    2. Medications
    • Inform your healthcare provider about any antibiotics or immunosuppressive drugs you are taking.
    3. Sample Collection
    • A blood sample is drawn from a vein, usually in your arm.
    • The procedure is quick and minimally invasive.
