Introduction
The Lyme Disease Borrelia Burgdorferi Antibodies IgG IgM Test is a critical diagnostic tool used to detect antibodies against the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, the causative agent of Lyme disease.

IgM antibodies are typically the first to be produced in response to an infection, indicating recent exposure to Borrelia burgdorferi. In contrast, IgG antibodies develop later and can indicate a past infection or a chronic condition.
