Description
A PCR test can confirm or rule out tick infection.
Important! An infected tick does not guarantee infection in the person it bites, but there is a 100% risk of developing the disease if it remains on the body for a long time (>72 hours).
When and who needs the test?
- To determine whether an attached tick is infected after removal.
- To identify infected ticks in natural foci during their active season.
Biological material
- Tick
Preparing
- Place the tick (a part or whole body) on a damp cloth in a tightly closed transport container.
- It is recommended to deliver it to the laboratory center on the day of removal from the body.
- In case if it is impossible to deliver the tick on the day of removal, it is recommended to store the transport container...
