## Indications for use
The Viramed Biotech AG Borrelia B31 IgM ViraStripe® is an in vitro qualitative assay for the detection of IgM antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum. It is intended for use in the testing of human serum samples which have been found positive or equivocal using an EIA or IFA test procedure for B. burgdorferi antibodies. Positive results from this line blot assay are supportive evidence of infection with B. burgdorferi, the causative agent for Lyme disease. The Viramed Biotech AG Borrelia B31 IgM ViraStripe ® can be used during the acute phase (0-4 weeks of symptoms onset) of B. burgdorfen infection. Patients who are positive by IgM but not IgG should have the test repeated a few weeks later if they remain ill. If they are still positive only by IgM and have been ill longer than one month, this is likely a false positive.
