TEST FOR BORRELIA - LYME DISEASE

TEST FOR BORRELIA - LYME DISEASE 
A simple method for the detection of live Borrelia spirochaetes in human blood using classical microscopy techniques

Ivar Mysterud, Morten Motzfeldt Laane

'The many difficulties in diagnosing Borrelia structures in human RBC-samples raise some rather gloomy perspectives for the much used medical practice of blood transfusion. We therefore stress that it is urgent to seriously evaluate the substantial potential for acquiring chronic borreliosis after blood transfusions [25], [26], because the usual methods for detecting Borrelia in many cases appears inadequate.'

'We think it might be of value and assist in the difficult diagnostic work of the disease and help out patients that suffer from chronic health problems without having got a proper diagnosis. We urge that extensive research might be carried out regarding the ecology, life cycle and evolutionary adaptive strategies of this species.'
