A member asked:
What specific test to request to diagnosis late stage lyme and/or co-infections, untreated tick bite rash 6 years ago? can these tests be ordered by my pcp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lyme: lyme western blot is sufficient. You don't need to look for other co-infection tick borne illnesses such as ehrlichia or babesia since they are short incubation period and have no long term effects, unlike Lyme which may cause rarely chronic problems
