Suspected Tick-Borne Illness

A Smarter Strategy for Elusive Pathogens

Tick-borne pathogens such as Borrelia, Babesia, and Bartonella often go undetected due to low abundance and immune evasion. Galaxy’s multi-layered testing strategy helps detect what others miss.

Why Traditional Tick-Borne Panels Can’t Keep Up

Because these infections behave unpredictably, circulating one day and hiding the next, single-point testing often misses them. Their shifting presence in blood and tissues means that even well-designed panels can fail to detect current presence of a pathogen. That’s why many clinicians find traditional testing can’t keep pace with what’s happening inside the patient.

 

  • Serology tests only detect pathogen exposure, not current pathogen presence
  • Overlapping symptoms can confuse diagnosis

Stealth pathogens demand a smarter diagnostic strategy, one that looks beyond antibodies and timing.

Triple Draw BBB Direct Detect
Bartonella IgG Detect
Lyme Borrelia Direct Detect

Designed for complex or unexplained cases.

Understanding Infection Status:
A Multi-Layered Approach

Galaxy’s suspected tick-borne illness testing integrates multiple diagnostic perspectives to give clinicians a clearer picture of infection status. Each layer contributes unique insight. Together, they improve diagnostic confidence.

Triple Draw BBB Direct Detect
Increases the probability of detection.


Testing across three days helps capture pathogens that circulate intermittently in the bloodstream.


Not all days yield the same results, serial draws matter.

Bartonella IgG Detect
Adds immune context to molecular findings.


By measuring antibody levels against Bartonella, this test helps distinguish between past exposure and potential ongoing infection, supporting clinical interpretation.

Lyme Borrelia Direct Detect
Identifies presence of pathogen even when serology fails.


Using Nanotrap® technology, this non-invasive urine test isolates Borrelia OspA antigen directly, providing clarity when antibody-based methods are inconclusive.

The Result: Layered Insight for Clinical Confidence

By combining direct detection with immune-response testing, Galaxy’s approach provides the context, precision, and confidence clinicians need to guide care in complex tick-borne disease cases.
