    Journal: Pol Merkur Lekarski; 2000 Jan; 7(43):69-71. PubMed ID: 10765660.
    Abstract:
    Recognising of Lyme disease is based on epidemiology investigation, clinical manifestation of disease and results of diagnostic laboratory tests. Direct methods as isolation and culturing of Borrelia burgdorferi are very difficult and expensive. Depends on clinical stage PCR could be very useful but not often used. The other methods are based on detection of specific antispirochaetal antibodies produced in compartments or detection of antigens B. burgdorferi.
