TickPlex Plus IgG/IgM test by ArminLabs

The TickPlex Plus IgG/IgM test by ArminLabs is an advanced screening panel designed to detect immune responses to multiple tick-borne pathogens and related infections. Using a blood sample, the test measures both IgG antibodies (indicating past exposure) and IgM antibodies (which may indicate more recent or active immune response).

Tick-borne infections can sometimes produce chronic or non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, neurological symptoms, or persistent illness following a tick bite. TickPlex Plus provides a broad screening approach, helping identify potential infections that may be contributing to ongoing health concerns.

TickPlex Plus testing helps assess exposure to:

• Lyme Borreliosis (Borrelia species)
• Ehrlichia & Anaplasma
• Bartonella
• Babesia
• Mycoplasma
• Rickettsia
• Epstein–Barr Virus (EBV)
• Coxsackievirus
• Parvovirus B19

Why Consider This Test

• Detects IgG and IgM antibodies to multiple tick-borne pathogens
• Screens for co-infections commonly associated with Lyme disease
• Useful for individuals with suspected tick exposure or persistent unexplained symptoms
• Provides a broad infectious screening panel in a single test

Reference Range

Results are reported as negative, borderline, or positive antibody responses depending on the level of IgG or IgM antibodies detected.

What Your Results May Mean

• Positive IgM: May indicate a recent or active immune response to a pathogen.
• Positive IgG: Suggests past exposure or longer-term immune response.
• Negative: No detectable antibody response to the pathogens tested at the time of sampling.

Results should always be interpreted in combination with clinical symptoms and medical evaluation, as antibody testing reflects immune response rather than direct pathogen detection.
