I am trying to find out what kind of test I had a few years ago that "ruled out" Lyme disease as a possible problem for me. The following is exactly what is on the lab printout:

LYME DISEASE ABS, EIA
LYME ABS (IGG, IGM) 0.46 (0.0-0.75)
IGG/IGM STATUS NEGATIVE


Does the "EIA" on the first line mean ELISA? Or something else? If I had the "better" or more comprehensive test for Lyme, would it show the band results that I have read about?
