Development of a sensitive molecular diagnostic assay for detecting <i>Borrelia burgdorferi</i> DNA from blood of Lyme disease patients by digital PCR

2020-06-16

Abstract excerpt

Lyme disease patients would benefit greatly from a timely, sensitive and specific molecular diagnostic test that can detect the causal agent, Borrelia burgdorferi , at the onset of symptoms. Currently available diagnostic methods recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for Lyme disease, involve indirect serological tests that rely on the detection of a host-antibody response which often take...
