Detection of <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> by DNA amplification in synovial tissue samples from patients with lyme arthritis
1 May 1996
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To compare the detection rates of chromosomal flagellin gene from Borrelia burgdorferi in synovial tissue (ST) and synovial fluid (SF) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. METHODS: B burgdorferi DNA was sought in SF and ST from 12 consecutive patients with Lyme arthritis and from 29 patients with noninfectious diseases (controls). RESULTS: No DNA amplification was observed in samples...
