Which Igenex Lyme test should we get?

[GraceUnderPressure]

We want to rule out Lyme before we do IVIG or PEX - which one of Igenex's offerings should we ask for? I think they have IgG, IgM & PCR-DNA or something like that but don't have the order form in front of me (We've already done a panel for all the other stuff like bartonella & babesia, but somehow Lyme got left off)

Okay, I'm looking at ILADS guidelines & it seems to be saying that IgG & IgM Western Blot are sufficient for initial testing.

 

We did the co-infections panel about 2 mos. ago & at the followup, when the dr realized that lyme had been left off, we were told that they could use the blood sample from the previous panel. If they should say at this point that they can still use it, should we have them run the lyme test on the old sample or go ahead & do a new blood draw?
