I highlight the importance of understanding test sensitivity and specificity, as well as the limitations of current testing methods, particularly in early and late stages of the disease. I also explain the sequential testing approach and the significance of clinical presentation in interpreting results. I encourage viewers to consider these factors when diagnosing Lyme disease and to rely on clinical judgment alongside test results. Please remember that positive serology can support a diagnosis, but negative results should not rule out Lyme disease."}
