Borrelia miyamotoi, Molecular Detection, PCR Negative

This panel does not detect Borrelia burgdorferi or Borrelia mayonii, the causative

agents of Lyme disease in the United States. While Lyme polymerase chain

reaction testing (PBORB / Lyme Disease [Borrelia burgdorferi], Molecular

Detection, PCR, Blood) can be useful for detecting acute infection with B mayonii,

this organism has a limited geographic distribution (upper Midwestern United States)

and is therefore not included in this panel. Serology is the preferred method for

detection of B burgdorferi.
