Lyme Disease

Paul G. Auwaerter, M.D.

PATHOGENS

Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, agent of Lyme disease (LD) in North America.
Other strains may cause LD in regions outside the U.S., e.g. B. garinii, B. afzelii in Europe.
- These species may not trigger positive U.S. 2-tier Lyme serologic assays but are better detected by Lyme C6 or Vlse antibody testing.
