Sera from 43 patients were tested for complement-fixing antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi; these patients included 8 with confirmed Lyme disease, 21 who were serologically positive but not likely to have Lyme disease, and 14 who were serologically negative. Seven individuals, all confirmed Lyme disease patients, had complement-fixing antibodies. Complement fixation may be a useful confirmatory test for Lyme disease.
对43名患者的血清进行了检测,以确定其针对伯氏疏螺旋体的补体结合抗体;这些患者包括8名确诊为莱姆病的患者、21名血清学检测呈阳性但不太可能患有莱姆病的患者以及14名血清学检测呈阴性的患者。7名个体,均为确诊的莱姆病患者,具有补体结合抗体。补体结合试验可能是莱姆病的一种有用的确诊试验。
