# Lyme Antibodies, Modified 2-Tier Testing Profile, Serum/Plasma

> This test measures specific antibodies your immune system creates to fight the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. It helps show whether your body is reacting to an infection, which is useful if you have symptoms like a rash, fever, or joint pain after a potential tick bite. By using two different detection methods together, this profile helps distinguish Lyme disease from other conditions with similar symptoms. However, this test cannot determine exactly when an infection occurred or confirm a diagnosis without a doctor evaluating your physical symptoms and exposure history.
