Lyme disease: laboratory diagnosis and serologic testing

Endeavour
S M CallisterD A Jobe

Abstract

Although identified less than 20 years ago, Lyme disease has proved to be the most common tick-borne disease in the United States: some 10,000 cases were reported in 1992. In some cases the disease may be transitory and of little consequence but in others it may become chronic and severely disabling. Accurate diagnosis is, therefore, of great importance but, as this article shows, laboratory testing techniques still need improvement.
