Most diagnostic tests are based on the detection of specific antibodies in the blood of patients suspected of having a given infection. Such tests, especially those that have survived years of rigorous scrutiny and have been validated and approved for clinical use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), have been invaluable in the cont...

متن کاملImmunodiagnostic tests for Lyme disease.
Standardized serologic tests for Lyme disease are needed, as isolation or in situ demonstration of the spirochete has proved difficult. At the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), an indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) was modified from a previously described IFA, and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed with soluble spirochetal antigens. Both tests were evaluated with s...
متن کاملEvaluation of tests for Lyme disease.
Coulter et al. are to be commended for their study evaluating the sensitivity of various tests for the diagnosis of Lyme disease (1). As the authors state, Lyme disease can be asymptomatic in its early stages and left untreated can develop chronic major manifestations. Studies evaluating available tests are quite important. There are problems, however, with the data as presented. The combinatio...
