Cohort 1
Lyme disease testing cohort
|
Diagnostic Test: T-Detect Lyme
T-Detect Lyme is an investigational use test that uses multiplex PCR and NGS to assess rearranged T-cell receptor beta (TRB) gene sequences from genomic DNA isolated from human peripheral blood. |
Cohort 2
Endemic, asymptomatic controls
|
Diagnostic Test: T-Detect Lyme
T-Detect Lyme is an investigational use test that uses multiplex PCR and NGS to assess rearranged T-cell receptor beta (TRB) gene sequences from genomic DNA isolated from human peripheral blood. |
Cohort 3
Non-endemic, asymptomatic controls
|
Diagnostic Test: T-Detect Lyme
T-Detect Lyme is an investigational use test that uses multiplex PCR and NGS to assess rearranged T-cell receptor beta (TRB) gene sequences from genomic DNA isolated from human peripheral blood. |
Cohort 4
Potential cross-reactive disease states
|
Diagnostic Test: T-Detect Lyme
T-Detect Lyme is an investigational use test that uses multiplex PCR and NGS to assess rearranged T-cell receptor beta (TRB) gene sequences from genomic DNA isolated from human peripheral blood. |
Cohort 5
Lyme disease testing cohort
|
Diagnostic Test: T-Detect Lyme
T-Detect Lyme is an investigational use test that uses multiplex PCR and NGS to assess rearranged T-cell receptor beta (TRB) gene sequences from genomic DNA isolated from human peripheral blood. |
- To evaluate sensitivity of T-Detect Lyme Assay relative to STTT and MTTT [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Diagnostic sensitivity is defined as the percentage of persons who have a given disorder who are identified by the assay as positive for Lyme disease.
- To demonstrate Specificity of T-Detect Lyme Assay relative to STTT and MTTT [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Diagnostic specificity is defined as the percentage of persons who do not have a given condition who are identified by the assay as negative for Lyme disease.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 7 Years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria:
Cohort 1:
- Participants at or above the age of 7
- Arm A: Participants with an EM rash ≥ 5 cm (confirmed by Lyme disease independent expert) with or without other signs and symptoms of Lyme disease
- Arm B: Participants who do not have an EM rash >/= 5 cm (either not confirmed by a Lyme disease independent expert or lacking a rash), but who have signs and symptoms suggestive of Lyme disease that warrants further testing, such as, but not limited to fever, myalgias, malaise, lymphadenopathy, rigors, arthralgias, peripheral and radiculoneuropathy, encephalopathy, intermittent arthritis, meningitis, heart block, carditis, etc
Cohort 2:
- Individuals in general good health, who reside in Lyme disease endemic regions
Cohort 3:
- Individuals in general good health, who reside in a region that is non-endemic for Lyme disease
Cohort 4:
Sourced from a sample repository
- Biorepositories with documented consent from participants for secondary use of their sample by a third party
- Confirmed, documented diagnoses for one of the following diseases:
- Viral: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), influenza, or COVID-19
- Tick-borne diseases: babesiosis, rocky mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, or ehrlichiosis
- Bacterial infection: syphilis
- Autoimmune/rheumatologic/neurologic diseases: Systemic Lupus Erythematous (SLE), Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), chronic fatigue syndrome
- For infections, active infections are preferred and should be prioritized. Past infections will be acceptable for infections that are difficult to obtain.

- Received the Lyme disease vaccine
- Chronic infection with HIV, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis C, or Hepatitis B
- Active malignancy
