Borrelia Antibodies and Antigens

Borrelia is a genus of bacteria primarily responsible for tick-borne illnesses, including Lyme disease. These bacteria are transmitted through tick bites and can lead to a range of symptoms, from mild to severe. Detection of Borrelia antibodies is crucial for early diagnosis, often achieved through Borrelia testing using Borrelia antibody immunoassay reagents. Antibiotics for Borrelia, such as doxycycline or amoxicillin, are commonly used as part of Borrelia treatment to eliminate the infection. Testing for anti-Borrelia antibodies helps monitor disease progression and guide appropriate treatment.
