Treatment resistant Lyme arthritis caused byBorrelia garinii [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2001
Lyme arthritis is caused in Europe by three main pathogenic species of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato: Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, Borrelia garinii, and Borrelia afzelii. Because few synovial samples have yet been analysed by species-specific DNA amplification methods, further studies are needed to define the spectra of clinical manifestations
