Lyme disease is transmitted by the bite of certain Ixodes ticks, which can also transmit Anaplasma phagocytophilum , the cause of human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA). Although culture can be used to identify patients infected with A. phagocytophilu

C 6 , a Borrelia burgdorferi- derived peptide, is used as the antigen in the C 6 -Lyme disease diagnostic test. We assessed retrospectively whether a fourfold decrease or a decrease to a negative value in anti-C 6 antibody titer is positively correla

An indirect hemagglutination antibody (IHA) test was evaluated for its ability to detect borrelial antibodies in serum samples from patients with Lyme disease. The key test reagent developed for this antibody detection system was tannic acid-treated

Although two-tier testing is standard practice in both the United States and Europe for the serologic diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis (LB), the test kits generally differ. The purpose of this study was to determine if the testing used in the United Sta
