Laboratory assay overview

Identification of the Ixodes tick species will result in reflex to Real-Time PCR for detection of Borrelia species in the tick. The diagnosis of Borreliosis is most often made by clinical examination combined with evidence of a tick bite and/or exposure in endemic areas. Amplification of Borrelia genomic DNA from a tick can help support the diagnosis.

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
