The traditional blood tests for diagnosing Lyme disease have replaced by two new tests called the C6 Test and Quant C6 test. The C6 test is a preliminary blood test that detects antibodies against a very specific protein called “C6”. The Quant C6 test can determine if the levels of antibody are high enough to justify treatment. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
