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

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

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 rep...
