There's no definitive accredited lab check as far as I know. At least here in Germany the official serologic tests for late stage Lyme can come back negative for years until the disease really progresses badly - even cerebrospinal fluid results may be normal despite neurological symptoms. My specialist uses elispot lab tests for Borrelia b. OspA, antigen and LFA-1 markers.

Other practitioners use westernblot lab results and differential diagnosis.



have you seen recent immunostaining result? albeit in research, amazingly you can actually see the bacteria.

They claim it can be cultured too.
