Infections
Lyme disease is an illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which is transmitted by ticks. Diagnosis begins with a highly sensitive screening test to detect antibodies. If antibodies are detected, a more specific immunoblot test is performed to confirm the presence of Lyme disease with greater accuracy. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Anaplasma phagocytophilum is a bacterium that causes anaplasmosis, a tick-borne disease. Testing IgM can confirm a recent infection, while IgG indicates prior or ongoing exposure. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Babesia duncani is a tick-transmitted parasite that causes babesiosis, a malaria-like infection. Testing for IgG antibodies can identify prior or ongoing exposure. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Babesia microti is a parasite that infects red blood cells and causes babesiosis. Testing IgM can confirm a recent infection, while IgG indicates prior or ongoing exposure. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Bartonella henselae is the bacterium responsible for cat scratch disease. IgM testing detects recent infections, while IgG testing reveals prior or ongoing exposure. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Bartonella quintana is a bacterium linked to trench fever and long-lasting infections in the bloodstream (chronic bacteremia). Testing IgM identifies recent infections, while IgG suggests prior or ongoing exposure. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Borrelia miyamotoi is a tick-borne bacterium that causes relapsing fever. Testing IgM detects recent infections, while IgG indicates prior exposure. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Ehrlichia chaffeensis is a bacterium that causes ehrlichiosis, a tick-borne illness. Testing IgM can detect a recent infection, while IgG reveals past or ongoing exposure. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that can cause mild to severe symptoms, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. IgM antibodies indicate a recent or active infection, while IgG antibodies suggest prior exposure or immunity. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Early Antigen D IgG antibodies appear during the active phase of Epstein-Barr virus infection. Their presence can indicate recent reactivation or ongoing infection. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
EBNA IgG antibodies develop later in Epstein-Barr virus infection and indicate prior exposure or long-term immunity. This test helps differentiate between active and past infections. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a herpesvirus that causes infectious mononucleosis ("mono") and is linked to chronic fatigue and other conditions. IgM antibodies indicate a recent or active infection, while IgG antibodies suggest past exposure or immunity. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
This test detects both IgG and IgM antibodies to Hepatitis A virus, a liver infection spread through contaminated food or water. The presence of IgM suggests recent infection, while IgG indicates immunity from past infection or vaccination. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Hepatitis B testing evaluates immunity, prior exposure, and active infection through a three-part approach: the surface antibody indicates immunity from vaccination or past infection, the core antibody reveals prior exposure to the virus, and the surface antigen identifies active infection. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Hepatitis C is a viral infection that affects the liver and can lead to chronic disease. This test detects antibodies to Hepatitis C virus, indicating past exposure or current infection. Additional tests are required to confirm active disease. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
Human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) in adults is associated with complications in people who are immunocompromised, especially if undetected. Testing for IgM indicates recent infection, while IgG reflects past exposure or latent infection. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership.
The Lyme IgM test is a blood test used to detect IgM antibodies in response to the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease. The presence of IgM antibodies indicates early-stage Lyme infection. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership. This result is only processed if Lyme Antibody is positive or equivocal.
The test is usually done with a Lyme IgG test for a more accurate diagnosis. *This add-on test is available for an additional cost and is not included in the $499 membership. This result is only processed if Lyme Antibody is positive or equivocal.
