Clinical Testing for Lyme Disease
▸ Q-RiBB Testing (Recommened)
Dr. Whitaker's test, known as the Rapid Identification of Bb (RIBb), employs a highly purified fluorescent anti-body stain specific of Bb, which is used to detect the organism. "RIBb provides results in 20-30 minutes, a key to getting the right treatment started quickly," Dr. Whitaker says.
Bowen/Whitaker Q-RiBb (Quantitative Rapid Identification of Borrelia Burgdorferi) - A new testing method, that potentially represents a major breakthrough, is the Q-RiBb test, which has now been approved a US patent. Developed by Jo Anne Whitaker, M.D., a prominent international medical researcher, and Lyme disease patient, the Q-RiBb test is unique in its approach and potentially offers much greater accuracy than conventional testing. A preliminary report of the findings is provided within 24 hours of receiving the specimen and the final report includes digital photographs of the findings. Finally, the Q-RiBb is the only test that is unaffected by whether the patient is currently (or recently has been) taking antibiotics.
At the time of the writing, there is only one internet based laboratory offering the breakthrough Q-RiBb testing method. Click here to visit The Central Florida Research Institute Lyme disease test kits page, (prices range from $50-$500 per kit).
Most of the stand tests used to detect Lyme disease are notoriously unreliable. "The initial thing patients usually get is a Western Blot antibody test," explaind Dr. Harris. "This test is not psoitive immediately after BB exposure and only 60% or 70% of people ever show antibiotics to Bb." Growing numbers of altnerative physicians prefer using tests developed by Dr. Whitaker of Linda Mattman, Ph.D., of Warren, Michigan, although neight test has yet been awarded approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for diagnostic use.
▸ Biopsy Testing
If erythema migrans rash is present then a biopsy should be carried out as soon as possible. If Borrelia burgdorferi is present then it can be cultured from a tissue biopsy. This procedure can give a crucial early diagnosis of Lyme disease many weeks before antibodies will show up on many of the commonly used laboratory tests.
▸ Lyme Disease Testing Conclusions
Most Lyme experts agree that current testing methods (with the possible exception of the Q-RiBb) are less than precise and should not be the sole tool used for diagnosing Lyme disease. Instead, a thorough review of possible exposure to ticks, patient symptoms, biopsy, and then the more accurate diagnostic tests, PCR and Western blot, should be used in combination to make a Lyme disease diagnosis.
