indicates IgM antibodies) indicates an existing infection and requires immediate treatment!

How does the Lyme disease test work?

In the case of tick-borne borreliosis, the immune system defends itself by producing antibodies. Antibodies circulate in the blood and bind the bacteria. The Lyme disease rapid test detects a certain group of antibodies (IgM: immunoglobulin M) already in the first 2-4 weeks of infection, and thus can detect the presence of the bacterium. Antibiotic in case of infection
treatment is necessary, the diagnosis must be confirmed by a doctor in all cases.

Who should be tested for Lyme disease?

for those who have found a tick in themselves,
for those who have experienced cockade-shaped redness at the site of the bite after a tick bite

One of the great dangers of Lyme disease is that its symptoms can often indicate other diseases. If the disease is not recognized and treated in time, more serious complaints may develop.

What are the symptoms of Lyme disease?

fatigue
headache
joint complaints
flu-like symptoms
lymph node swelling
A circular (cockade-shaped) rash may appear at the site of the tick bite. The absence of a skin reaction does not completely rule out Lyme disease infection. The disappearance of the Lyme spot does not necessarily mean that the body is cured.
