## Need help choosing the right test?

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.
