New Gene Discovery Could Lead To Earlier Lyme Test And Diagnosis

Diagnosing Lyme can be very difficult. The telltale bull’s eye rash (erythema migrans) is absent in 20-30% and the rash may be mistaken for an allergic reaction or local skin infection. Now a “next-generation sequencing” technique called RNA-seq found distinctive patterns in patients with Lyme disease, a discovery that could lead to earlier infection.


An experimental new test holds great promise for diagnosing Lyme disease soon after infection, well before current tests are able to detect infection.
