The organism that causes Lyme disease is a bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi whereas Syphilis is a systemic, bacterial infection caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum.
Vibrant's Tickborne test currently does not test for Treponema pallidum.
Can the Tickborne test differentiate a Lyme spirochete from a Syphilis spirochete?
