Serodiagnosis of erythema migrans and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans by the Borrelia burgdorferi flagellum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
The diagnostic performance of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using purified Borrelia burgdorferi flagella as test antigen was compared with that of a B. burgdorferi sonic extract ELISA. We tested sera from 200 healthy controls, 107 patients with erythema migrans (EM), 50 patients with acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (ACA), and 98 patients with various dermatological disorders ...
متن کاملA two year prospective study to compare culture and polymerase chain reaction amplification for the detection and diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis.
AIM To compare polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of borrelial DNA and culture isolation of spirochaetes for the diagnosis of Lyme borreliosis by direct detection of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in patients with erythema migrans and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans lesions. METHODS Skin biopsy specimens from erythema migrans and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans lesions wer...
متن کاملEtiology of the acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans lesion in Lyme disease.
Spirochete diversity in acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans lesions in a closely defined central European site was compared to that in the local vector population, in human erythema migrans lesions, and in cerebrospinal fluid by amplifying and sequencing a segment of the gene of outer surface protein A directly from sampled tissues. Borrelia garinii, Borrelia afzelii, and Borrelia burgdorferi a...
متن کاملClinical spectrum of skin manifestations of Lyme borreliosis in 204 children in Austria.
The spectrum of skin manifestations of Lyme borreliosis in children is not well characterized. We conducted a retrospective study to analyze the clinical characteristics, seroreactivity to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, and outcome after treatment in 204 children with skin manifestations of Lyme borreliosis seen in 1996-2011. Solitary erythema migrans was the most common manifestation (44.6%)...
متن کاملAnalysis of antibody response to the outer surface protein family in lyme borreliosis patients.
Studies on frequencies of serum antibodies to outer surface proteins (Osps) in Lyme disease have produced conflicting results. Osp antigens (A, B, and C) enriched by butanol extraction, which aids band identification in immunoblotting, were used to test sera for IgG antibody to Osp antigens from Borrelia burgdorferi isolates from each subspecies (sensu stricto, afzelii, and garinii). Individual...
