We've outlined recommendations based on clinical presentation below.
Suspected Tick-Borne Illness
Recommended Galaxy Tests
BBB Direct Detect™ + Lyme Borrelia Direct Detect™ + Bartonella IgG IFA
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 infection (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.
Suspected Bartonellosis
Recommended Galaxy Tests
Digital PCR™ + 4-Species Bartonella IFA Serology*
Tests: BBB Direct Detect + Bartonella IgG Detect
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.
*Direct detection (dPCR) for Bartonella, Borrelia, and Babesia
*Culture and IFA testing available exclusively for Bartonella
*BBB is a multi-plexed direct test and will also include Babesia and Borrelia
##### Suspected Lyme Disease (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 traditional serology
Clinical Utility
Provides direct detection of Borrelia OspA antigen from urine, enabling earlier diagnosis in acute cases and confirms presence of pathogen infection in patients with a history of Lyme disease, even when the immune response is absent or suppressed.
