Elispot looks at the T cell response and IGG/IGM looks at B cells/Antibodies. 

Some people don't produce antibodies and have a more active T cell response. 

In an ideal world to assess an infection, a practitioner should look at both sides of the immune system response, in other words, Eli-spot for the T cells/cellular response and IGG/IGM for humoral/B cell/antibody response.

To check for an active infection with the T cells, the Elipost is recommended.

Borrelia miyamotoi is a spirochete bacterium in the genus Borrelia. A zoonotic bacterium, B. miyamotoi can be transferred to humans through the hard ticks, the same tick species that spread B. burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, and Babesia microti, the causative agent of babesiosis
