Borrelia Burgdorferi IgM Antibod in Pune

What is Borrelia Burgdorferi IgM Antibod

Borrelia burgdorferi IgM antibody is a type of blood test used to detect the presence of antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi, a bacterium that causes Lyme disease. The presence of IgM antibodies in the blood indicates an acute or recent infection. The test is performed by drawing a blood sample from the patient, which is then analyzed in the laboratory using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or immunofluorescence assay (IFA) to detect the presence of IgM antibodies against the bacterium. However, the test is not always reliable and can produce false-negative or false-positive results, so clinical correlation and further testing may be necessary.
