Antigens Derived from Biofilm-like Microcolony Persister Form of Borrelia burgdorferi Improve Serodiagnosis of Lyme Disease

Unmet NeedLyme disease is one of many tick-transmitted diseases. Further investigation has revealed that Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdoferi. These bacteria transmit to humans via an infected deer tick and has affected over 25,000 Americans in the United States in 2002. Currently there are estimated to be 300,000 cases a year...

A system and methods for the detection of the LD rash and other skin conditions

Unmet NeedThe direct medical costs associated with Lyme disease in the United States are estimated at 2.5 billion dollars annually. Precise diagnosis from laboratory results are only most accurate if taken within a few weeks of being infected. The problem is the symptoms are wide varying and come and go. In addition, one test ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent...

Host Response Biomarker Panel for Diagnosis of Lyme Disease

Invention Novelty This diagnostic technology uses a panel of 20 biomarkers to diagnose Lyme disease with much higher sensitivity and accuracy than other currently existing methods. Lyme disease can be detected in peripheral blood samples from patients even at early hard-to-diagnose stages. These aspects of the invention make it indispensable for...

Elevated CCL19 after Completion of Therapy for Acute Lyme Disease Identifies Patients at Risk for Development of Post-treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome Who Will Benefit from Further Antibiotic Therapy

Unmet Need: Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in temperate regions that can lead to persistent and life-altering symptoms including arthritis and neurological dysfunction. Even when caught and treated early, approximately 10-20% of patients have persistent symptoms lasting 6+ months known as posttreatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS)....
