Interpretive Data: | General Reference Range : NOT DETECTED A negative result should not be used to exclude Lyme disease. Patients with early Lyme disease may have undetectable antibody titer. Additional serum samples, at varying intervals, should be tested to demonstrate a rise in titer, if clinically indicated. Early treatment may prevent the development of antibodies. Patients with antibodies against Human Ehrlichiosis (HGE), Tick-Borne Relapsing Fever (TBRF), Babesiosis, Parvovirus, and EBV infections may give false positive Lyme Ab Total results. | |
