Abstract

Current diagnostic protocols of Lyme disease indirectly detect the presence of antibodies produced by the patient upon infection by the bacterial pathogen, not the pathogen itself. These diagnostic tests tend to underestimate early-stage bacterial infections before the patients develop robust immune responses.
