FDA clears new indications for existing Lyme disease tests
Aug. 1, 2019—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cleared for marketing four previously cleared tests with new indications to aid in the diagnosis of Lyme disease. The tests cleared involve a new testing paradigm in which two enzyme immunoassays are run concurrently or sequentially, rather than the current two-step process in which a Western blot must be run after the initial EIA test.
