## Indications for use
MRL Diagnostics’ Lyme Disease Borrelia burgdorferi Genogroup 1 Western Blot IgM test allows the qualitative detection of IgM class antibody in human serum to individual proteins of the genogroup 1 (B. burgdorferi sensu stricto) of B. burgdorferi sensu lato. The MRL Diagnostics Lyme Disease B. burgdorferi Western Blot assay is intended to provide supportive evidence of infection with B. burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, using serum samples which have been found positive or equivocal by another B. burgdorferi detection methodology (e.g. IFA or ELISA). The MRL Diagnostics Lyme Disease B. burgdorferi Genogroup 1 Western Blot IgM can be used alone during the acute phase (0-4 weeks of symptoms onset) of B. burgdorferi infection. After the acute phase, infected patients are usually found to be Western Blot positive for IgG. For persons beyond the acute phase, a positive IgM test alone is not recommended for determining active disease in patients. Therefore, both IgG and IgM Western Blots should be used after the acute phase.
