: Probably not. Determination of Lyme Disease is based primarily on clinical symptoms and on physical findings. Serologic findings are, at best, supportive, NOT diagnostic. For whatever its worth (not much) these tests suggest a remote episode of Lyme Disease (years or decades ago), not currently active and not needing treatment now

what is difference between IgM and IgG for western blot for lyme. positive for IgM but not IgG, what does that mean? tks

I tested positive for Lyme disease. I was given the EIA (result 6.1), IgG (10 bands present) and IgM WB (3 bands) Does this mean I've had LD for a whi?
