AcuDart tests have a sensitivity greater than 90%, making them more accurate than any other DTC test or tests from commercial laboratories such as LabCorp or Quest. The AcuDart Bartonellosis Screening Test is the most comprehensive and accurate test available for Bartonellosis because it identifies antibodies to the following four Bartonella species: B. henselae, B. quintana, B. elizabethae and B. vinsonii. Most tests look for only one species, and therefore miss many positive cases.

Bartonellosis is a group of diseases caused by species of the genus Bartonella. Studies have found that certain Bartonella species are carried by the same ticks that carry Lyme disease, and ticks are likely the chief source of human Bartonellosis infection. Several species of Bartonella cause severe diseases in humans, such as Cat scratch disease (CSD), endocarditis, trench fever, and Carrion’s disease.

Collecting Your Blood

All we need are a few drops.

That's right! A few drops of blood is all we need to test for Bartonellosis. Our sample collection card is an alternative collection method, similar to an SST tube. Red blood cells are separated without a centrifuge, enabling the laboratory to perform tests on dry blood.

Is this methodology accurate? Yes! The test results have been cross-validated against standard finger prick and venous draws.

Collecting Your Blood

All we need are a few drops.

A few drops of blood is all we need to test for eight species of Lyme causing borrelia. Red blood cells are separated without a centrifuge, enabling the laboratory to perform tests on dry blood. The test results have been cross-validated against standard finger prick and venous draws.

AcuDart tests detect antibodies to multiple species of Bartonella.

B. henselae

B. henselae is a bacterium that causes cat scratch disease (CSD), also known as cat scratch fever.

B. quintana

B. quintana infection is most commonly associated with body louse infestations in areas of high population density and poor sanitation.

B. elizabethae

B. elizabethae causes disease in both humans and animals. Most commonly, it causes endocarditis, or inflammation of the inner layer of the heart tissue.

B. vinsonii

B. vinsonii is a gram-negative bacteria that can infect mammals, including dogs and cats. It can cause a variety of diseases in dogs.

Title

What does the AcuDart Bartonellosis Screening test detect, and how reliable is it?

The AcuDart At-Home Bartonella Test detects antibodies to multiple species of Bartonella, a genus of bacteria associated with Cat Scratch Disease and other systemic infections. Using advanced recombinant protein technology, this test ensures high sensitivity and specificity, delivering reliable and accurate results.

AcuDart tests are among the most accurate tests available, with a sensitivity of just above 90%, higher than the PCR and the ELISA/Western blot (57.6%) testing protocol recommended by the CDC.

Does insurance cover AcuDart Bartonellosis testing?

Currently, insurance does not cover the cost of AcuDart Bartonella Testing, and FSA/HSA payments are not accepted. However, AcuDart strives to make testing affordable, offering pricing that is often lower than the costs associated with traditional healthcare visits.

Who should consider AcuDart Bartonellosis Screening testing, and can it detect co-infections?

This test is ideal for individuals who have been exposed to animals, ticks, or environments where Bartonella transmission is possible. Those experiencing symptoms such as fever, fatigue, or unusual swelling should also consider this test.

While this test focuses on Bartonella, AcuDart offers a Disease Screening Test Panel designed to detect multiple co-infections from a single sample.

What sample is required for AcuDart Bartonellosis Screening testing, and how do I collect it properly?

A small blood sample, collected via a simple finger prick, is required for the Bartonella test. The test kit includes step-by-step instructions and all the necessary tools to ensure a safe and accurate at-home sample collection process.

What do the results mean, and what should I do if I test positive for Bartonellosis Screening?

- Positive Result: Indicates the presence of antibodies to Bartonella, suggesting past or current exposure. Consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss potential treatment options.

- Negative Result: Suggests no detectable antibodies at the time of testing. However, early-stage infections or low antibody levels may require follow-up testing if symptoms persist.

How long does it take to get results?

Results are typically available within 3-5 business days (digitally) after the lab receives your sample. You will be notified via a secure portal when your results are ready to view.
