How to Diagnose Chronic Lyme Disease—More Than A Test

How to Diagnose Chronic Lyme Disease—More Than A Test
Updated: January 23, 2025

How To Diagnose Chronic Lyme Disease

Learn how to diagnose chronic Lyme disease in this informative video article. I describe the best tests for diagnosing Lyme in this video. But diagnosing Lyme requires more than testing. In fact around 20% of people can have Lyme even when testing is negative. Ultimately Lyme is a clinical rather than a laboratory diagnosis.

For more information about the types and accuracy of Lyme infection tests see A Review of Lyme Infection Tests. Pass or Fail. See my Lyme disease management guidelines called The Ross Lyme & Tick-borne Diseases Support Protocol for information. This video article was recorded in 2017 when I practiced in Seattle, Washington.
