Recombinant BBK32 protein in serodiagnosis of early and late Lyme borreliosis.
Borrelial protein BBK32 was evaluated as an antigen in the serodiagnosis of early and disseminated Lyme borreliosis (LB). bbk32 was cloned and sequenced from eight isolates of the three pathogenic Borrelia species. The identities between the amino acid sequences of the BBK32 proteins from Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. garinii, and B. afzelii isolates were 71 to 100%. By immunoglobulin ...

This manuscript describes the typical presentation of erythema migrans caused by tick bite. The purposes of this article are (i) to encourage physicians to observe patients with tick bite carefully since it may cause fatal encephalitis, and (ii) to facilitate physicians, especially in endemic areas, to consider tick-borne encephalitis virus as one of the causes of encephalitis.

The patient had several recent outdoor exposures wh...
متن کاملLyme Disease: Beyond Erythema Migrans
Background: With the recent discoveries of Borrelia burgdorferi and other spirochetes in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients and with a recent analysis showing the very same pathology in both syphilitic and Alzheimer’s dementia it seems both rational and urgent to consider all aspects of Lyme disease in a new light, especially the concept of “overdiagnosis”. The very presence of the organisms in...
