Do you need more information
Transmitted through the bite of infected ticks, Lyme Borreliosis is the most common and rapidly spreading tick-borne disease in the world. However many of the symptoms can also occur with other diseases. VIDAS® Lyme IgM and VIDAS® Lyme IgG allow accurate, rapid, differential diagnosis to avoid misdiagnosis and help prevent progression of the disease towards severe and disabling neurological, cutaneous or articular manifestations.
Clear-cut serological profile
- Separate IgG and IgM results to facilitate classification of Lyme Borreliosis as early or late/chronic, active or immune
- Helps ensure patients receive rapid, optimized treatment depending on their stage of infection
- Easy result interpretation:
- No equivocal zone for VIDAS Lyme IgG results
- Avoids unnecessary patient anxiety and limits additional testing
Detection of immunological response following a bite from a tick
infected with Borrelia burgdorferi
High specificity and sensitivity*
- The tests use innovative recombinant chimeric proteins* (VlsE, DbpA, OspC), allowing detection of all main pathogenic Borrelia strains
- Less rework and confirmatory tests
- Low level of cross-reaction with syphilis and other infectious diseases*
- Only patients with Lyme Borreliosis are treated
* See package inserts for more details
** Performance on serum samples, for references outside US and Canada
*** 17 samples were tested with VIDAS Lyme IgG only and were not taken into account in the VIDAS Lyme IgM sensitivity analysis
Cost-effectiveness and streamlined workflow
VIDAS® Lyme IgM and VIDAS® Lyme IgG are performed on the VIDAS® automated immunoanalyzers, appreciated worldwide for their simplicity, flexibility and accuracy.
Key benefits:
- Ease-of-use
- Rapid results: only 27 minutes
- Protocol compatibility between both tests
- Single-dose format
- Calibration only once every 28 days
