What is Lyme disease?
Lyme disease is a vector-borne infectious disease, caused primarily by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. Traditionally, its main route of transmission to humans is through the bite of infected ticks; however, multiple scientific studies have indicated that other blood-feeding insects, such as fleas, lice, mosquitoes, and certain biting flies, may also act as potential vectors of Borrelia species, expanding the epidemiological scope of these infections.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the most common early symptoms include fever, extreme fatigue, headache, muscle and joint pain, and in some cases a characteristic skin rash known as erythema migrans. If Lyme disease is not detected and treated in a timely manner, it may progress and affect the joints, the nervous system, and the heart, making an early, accurate, and well-supported diagnosis essential for appropriate medical care.
En LITLAB DX somos un equipo multidisciplinario de especialistas científicos y clínicos que colaboran estrechamente entre Finlandia y México, con el objetivo de fortalecer el diagnóstico clínico de enfermedades transmitidas por vectores, particularmente aquellas asociadas a la picadura de garrapata. Nuestra labor se apoya en una alianza científica con Tezted Oy (Finlandia), una empresa biotecnológica reconocida por el desarrollo de plataformas diagnósticas avanzadas como TICKPLEX®, diseñadas para la detección integral de infecciones complejas transmitidas por garrapatas. Esta colaboración nos permite implementar procedimientos diagnósticos estandarizados, validados y estrictamente controlados, alineados con buenas prácticas de laboratorio, asegurando resultados confiables, reproducibles y clínicamente relevantes. Nuestro compromiso es ofrecer un diagnóstico digno, accesible y de alta calidad, centrado en el paciente y útil para la toma de decisiones médicas
