Report of a case of Lyme disease in Mazandaran
Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Depending on the stage of illness, infection may be limited to the skin or involve the cardiac, nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Herein, we report a case of Lyme disease in a 23-year-old woman from North of Iran (Mazandaran) in early-localized stage of erythema chronicum migrans. The diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of se...
متن کاملIdentification of Two Epitopes on the Outer Surface Protein A of the Lyme Disease Spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi
A murine IgM monoclonal antibody (MA-2C6) with κ-light chains directed against an antigenic determinant of outer surface protein A (OspA) of the Lyme disease spirochete, Borreliaburgdorferi, is produced. This antibody could bind specifically to OspA antigen of several isolates of B. burgdorferi, but not to the non-Lyme disease bacteria such as T. pallidum and B. hermsii. Antibody MA-2C6 was pur...
متن کاملSerologic proteome analysis of Borrelia burgdorferi membrane-associated proteins.
Lyme disease, a global health concern, is caused by infection with Borrelia burgdorferi, B. afzelii, or B. garinii. The spirochete responsible for the disease in the United States is B. burgdorferi and is spread by the bite of an infected Ixodes tick. We utilized multiple two-dimensional gel techniques combined with proteomics to reveal the full humoral immune response of mice and Lyme patients...
متن کاملBorrelia burgdorferi-specific IgA in Lyme Disease
The laboratory diagnosis of Lyme disease is currently dependent on the detection of IgM and IgG antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of the disease. The significance of serum IgA against B. burgdorferi remains unclear. The production of intrathecal IgA has been noted in patients with the late Lyme disease manifestation, neuroborreliosis, but production of antigen-specifi...
متن کاملChronic or Late Lyme Neuroborreliosis: Analysis of Evidence Compared to Chronic or Late Neurosyphilis
Whether spirochetes persist in affected host tissues and cause the late/chronic manifestations of neurosyphilis was the subject of long-lasting debate. Detection of Treponema pallidum in the brains of patients with general paresis established a direct link between persisting infection and tertiary manifestations of neurosyphilis. Today, the same question is in the center of debate with respect ...
متن کاملLate-stage neuropsychiatric Lyme borreliosis. Differential diagnosis and treatment.
Lyme borreliosis (Lyme disease) is a multisystem illness caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. Although dermatologic, articular, cardiac, opthalmologic, and neurologic manifestations are well known, it is less well known that psychiatric disorders may also arise as a result of borrelial infection (1). Depression (2), panic attacks (3), schizophrenia-like psychotic state (4), bipolar di...
