How long does blood test take

Does anyone know how long it takes for a Lyme disease test result to come back?...I went to my Gp and had the test done on Friday. I had a letter the following weds (3 working days later) asking me to phone my GP as he wants to discuss my results. I went away for a few days and just got the letter, so I cant ring up until after the bank holiday. I have no idea as to whether I have it or not. I was just suprised that the results are in so quick and every other blood test Iv had, my GP never calls me, I have to chase them up......Thanks..
