Choosing the Right Test Starts with the Right Clinical Clues
Galaxy Diagnostics offers a comprehensive toolkit for detecting stealth pathogens. Whether you’re treating suspected Lyme Borreliosis, Bartonellosis, or Babesiosis, we help you move from diagnostic uncertainty to clinical action, faster and with more confidence.
Not sure where to start? Choose a scenario below.
Suspected Lyme Borreliosis
Recommended Galaxy Tests
Lyme Borrelia Direct Detect – Nanotrap®
Ideal for patients who:
- Present with early-stage Lyme symptoms
- Exhibit persistent or multisystem symptoms post-treatment
- Require detection independent of antibody response
- Have inconclusive or negative results from serology
Clinical Utility
Provides direct detection of Borrelia OspA antigen from urine, enabling earlier diagnosis in acute cases and confirms presence of pathogen in patients with a history of Lyme disease, even when the immune response is absent or suppressed.
Suspected Bartonellosis
Recommended Galaxy Tests
Tests: BBB Direct Detect + Bartonella IgG Detect
Digital PCR + 4-Species Bartonella IFA Serology*
Ideal for patients who:
- Present with nonspecific symptoms like fatigue, neurocognitive, neuropsychiatric, pain, headaches, or fever
- May benefit from both direct and indirect testing, using both provides a clearer clinical picture, especially when immune response is variable
Clinical Utility
By combining culture-enriched Digital PCR with species-specific antibody detection, Galaxy provides DNA-level confirmation and immune response insights across the four Bartonella species most associated with human disease, offering a more complete diagnostic picture than either method alone.
Improved diagnostic certainty, with combined tests and a complete 3-day draw which leads to more confident decisions and better patient outcomes.
Suspected Tick-Borne Illness
Recommended Galaxy Tests
Direct Detect + Bartonella IgG IFABBB Direct Detect + Lyme Borrelia
Ideal for patients who:
- Experience chronic, unexplained symptoms like fatigue, pain, POTS, anxiety, neurological issues, or immune dysregulation
- Have negative or inconclusive results from prior Lyme or co-infection tests
- Report exposure to ticks, fleas, lice, or close contact with animals (e.g., cats, dogs)
- Are under the care of functional or integrative providers and have not responded to treatment
- Are exploring treatment protocols that require more diagnostic clarity
Clinical Utility
Direct evidence of pathogen presence (DNA and antigen), supporting precise and targeted treatment plans.
Immune system insight via IFA, helpful for confirming diagnosis and tracking treatment response and have a full clinical picture for Bartonella
Genus-level detection, expanding clinical awareness beyond species-limited tests.
Improved diagnostic certainty, with combined tests and a complete 3-day draw which leads to more confident decisions and better patient outcomes.
