Evaluating Frequency, Diagnostic Quality, and Cost of Lyme Borreliosis Testing in Germany: A Retrospective Model Analysis

Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Background. Data on the economic impact of Lyme borreliosis (LB) on European health care systems is scarce. This project focused on the epidemiology and costs for laboratory testing in LB patients in Germany. Materials and Methods. We performed a sentinel analysis of epidemiological and medicoeconomic data for 2007 and 2008.

The Laboratory Diagnosis of Lyme Borreliosis: Guidelines from the Canadian Public Health Laboratory Network

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 145-148, 2007., 2007
Lyme borreliosis is uncommonly seen in Canada. Most cases have occurred in close proximity to small geographical areas where infected ticks have become established. Although few cases are seen, thousands of patients are tested yearly. Unless patients are carefully selected and an appropriately sensitive and specific testing algorithm is applied, large ...

AI Progress in Skin Lesion Analysis [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
We examine progress in the use of AI for detecting skin lesions, with particular emphasis on the erythema migrans rash of acute Lyme disease, and other lesions, such as those from conditions like herpes zoster (shingles), tinea corporis, erythema multiforme, cellulitis, insect bites, or tick bites. We discuss important challenges for these applications,

Discrepancy between IDSA and ESGBOR in Lyme disease: Individual participant meta‐analysis in Türkiye

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 337-348, June 2024.
Abstract Background The evidence on the prevalence of Lyme borreliosis (LB) is limited, but there is a suspicion of overdiagnosis of LB in recent years. We reviewed the LB diagnosis and treatment‐related data in Türkiye, based on the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) 2020 and European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

Intra‐ and Interlaboratory Reproducibility of an ELISA Serological Test for Lyme Disease

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 90-95, 1995., 1994
Objectives: Lyme disease has been increasingly diagnosed throughout North America since the late 1970s. The clinical diagnosis and epidemiological monitoring of Lyme disease are aided by serological testing for the etiological agent, Borrelia burgdorferi. Numerous authorities have questioned the reproducibility of these serological tests.

Terrestrial effects of possible astrophysical sources of an AD 774-775 increase in 14C production [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, vol. 40, 1237-1240, 2013, 2013
We examine possible sources of a substantial increase in tree ring 14C measurements for the years AD 774-775. Contrary to claims regarding a coronal mass ejection (CME), the required CME energy is not several orders of magnitude greater than known solar events.
