The Rise of Tickborne Illnesses

Tickborne diseases are increasing across the United States, transmitted by various tick species that carry different microorganisms affecting both humans and animals. Over the past 13 years, cases of tickborne illnesses have more than doubled, now accounting for 77 percent of all vector-borne disease reports. Lyme disease alone represents 82 percent of these cases.

Common Signs of Tickborne Illness

Recognizing the symptoms early is key to effective treatment. Some of the most frequently reported symptoms include:

• Fever and chills
• Headache
• Bell’s palsy
• Neck stiffness
• Fatigue
• Muscle or joint pain
• Gastrointestinal issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea)
• Changes in mental or emotional state
• Loss of appetite
• Weight loss
• Anemia
• Swollen, tender lymph nodes
• Rash
• Abdominal pain
• Dizziness or shortness of breath
• Numbness or weakness in limbs

Limitations of Conventional Testing

Recent studies show that the standard two-tier testing method recommended by the CDC—ELISA followed by Western blot—can result in false positives or negatives. These tests may miss up to 60 percent of clearly defined Lyme disease cases. Additionally, Lyme disease symptoms often resemble those of other conditions, which can delay or complicate diagnosis. Standard treatments typically involve extended antibiotic use, which may lead to chronic inflammation or other long-term health issues.

What the Vibrant Tickborne Panel Offers

The Vibrant Tickborne Disease Panel provides a more comprehensive diagnostic approach, including:

• Protein microarray antigen and PCR testing for Lyme disease and tick-borne relapsing fever
• Detection of co-infections such as Anaplasma, Babesia, Borrelia, Bartonella, Ehrlichia, and Rickettsia species
