Early Lyme disease detection

The ZEUS Borrelia Modified Two-Tiered Testing (MTTT) algorithm improves detection of early Lyme disease by up to 30% compared to the Standard Two-Tiered Testing (STTT) algorithm. The STTT algorithm requires a 2^nd tier immunoblot, which adds subjectivity in results interpretation and reduces sensitivity in measuring acute Lyme disease.
