REFERENCE RANGES: IgG <1:64
IgM <1:16

Single IgG titers of 1:64 and greater against
Borrelia hermsii are considered presumptive
evidence of infection by Borrelia.

A fourfold or greater change in titer between acute and convalescent sera provides evidence of recent or current infection.

Acute sera generally show specific IgM titers > or = to 1:16 while patients with manifestations of later stages of disease display elevated IgG titers only.

Crossreactivity is shown with other Borrelia species and Treponema; therefore, positive specimens should be assayed in parallel against these antigens when possible to identify the specific species causing infection.
