Did you know that a single tick bite can transmit more than one infection at a time<\/em>? \ud83e\udda0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lyme disease, caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi<\/em>, is just one of them. In many cases, ticks can also spread other microorganisms that complicate diagnosis and treatment. <\/p>\n

Therefore, at Teletest we have developed the CO-LYME panel<\/a><\/strong>, a serological study that analyzes the main co-infections transmitted by ticks in Europe. Its objective is to offer a more complete view of the patient’s infectious environment, helping healthcare professionals make more accurate decisions. <\/p>\n
