WHY SHOULD PATIENTS BE TESTED FOR TICKBORNE DISEASES?

Tickborne diseases have more than doubled in 13 years and represent 77% of all vector-borne disease reports.
HOW ACCURATE IS THIS TEST?
The Vibrant Tickborne Diseases panel is the first of its kind to be run on a silicon micro-array platform using chemiluminescence detection that provides improved sensitivity & specificity.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR THIS TEST?
Fasting is not required for the Tickborne Diseases test, and there are no diet or dietary supplement restrictions before testing. If you are taking steroids, immunosuppressive medications, biologic agents, or other immunomodulating medications, you may not get an accurate result of your antibody levels on the Tickborne test. If you are taking any of these medications you may get falsely lower or falsely higher antibody results. For this reason, to ensure the most accurate results, your ordering provider may recommend testing 14-30 days after discontinuing these medications, or they may recommend testing Total Immunoglobulins (Total IgE, Total IgM, Total IgA, and Total IgG) before testing specific antibody levels for Tickborne diseases.
