Starting today, April 27th, 2021, we will resume in-house testing for Lyme Disease serology.  Results will be available within 2 hours of specimen receipt in the laboratory.  Positive and equivocal serologies will continue to be automatically confirmed by Western blot.

The in-house tests are as follows:

Lyme Disease Antibody (Acute Disease) [LAB7769] – appropriate for individuals with ≤4 weeks of clinical symptoms or tick exposure

Lyme Disease Antibody (Late Disease) [LAB7770] – appropriate for individuals with >4 weeks of clinical symptoms or tick exposure

Questions should be directed to Anna Merrill, PhD (678-8400, anna-merrill@uiowa.edu) or Matthew Krasowski, MD, PhD (384-9380, matthew-krasowski@uiowa.edu).
