This study was designed to improve the recovery of Borrelia burgdorferi from blood. With the techniques used, B. burgdorferi could be recovered from the blood of approximately 25% of patients with early Lyme disease associated with erythema migrans. Serum was a better source of culture material than whole blood. The volume of blood cultured correlated directly with yield, particularly for patients with a single erythema migrans lesion.
本研究旨在提高从血液中分离伯氏疏螺旋体的成功率。采用这些技术,大约25%患有与游走性红斑相关的早期莱姆病患者的血液中可分离出伯氏疏螺旋体。血清作为培养材料的来源比全血更好。培养的血液量与培养成功率直接相关,特别是对于仅有一个游走性红斑病灶的患者。
