Could the Optiplex < em > Borrelia < /em > assay replace the traditional, two-step method of diagnosing Lyme disease?

CONCLUSIONS: Answering the question whether the OB assay could replace the traditional, two-step method of LD diagnostics, it can be concluded that it could not. It can be used to diagnose LD only as a complementary assay and not as an optimal and dedicated method of Borrelia spp. infection detection.PMID:35352907 | DOI:10.26444/aaem/147277
