12/23/1998 - "Specific anti-HGE IgG and/or IgM antibodies were more often discovered in cases of early Borrelia infection (stage I: 13.6%, stage II: 18.4%) than in patients with stage III disease (0%) or in seropositive but asymptomatic patients (6.8%). "

12/12/2011 - "On suspicion of Borrelia infection the patient was prescribed penicillin treatment for 28 days with convincing effect. "
11/01/1989 - "Furthermore, two cases of erythema chronicum migrans, which is considered pathognomonic for Borrelia infection, were treated with penicillin perorally. "
02/01/1986 - "Investigations in 5 patients who developed neurologic symptoms after tick-borne borrelia infection revealed specific antibodies (IgM, IgG) against Borrelia burgdorferi in all sera, and all the patients recovered, one of them without treatment and the others under penicillin or tetracyclines. "

02/01/1986 - "Investigations in 5 patients who developed neurologic symptoms after tick-borne borrelia infection revealed specific antibodies (IgM, IgG) against Borrelia burgdorferi in all sera, and all the patients recovered, one of them without treatment and the others under penicillin or tetracyclines. "

03/01/2000 - "This suggested that amoxicillin and minocycline could be useful for the treatment of Chinese Borrelia infection."

03/01/2000 - "This suggested that amoxicillin and minocycline could be useful for the treatment of Chinese Borrelia infection."

04/01/2015 - "With the exception of erythema migrans, Borrelia infection of the skin manifests much more commonly with B cell-rich infiltrates. "

12/10/1999 - "Thus, serological results are not supportive for the diagnosis of erythema migrans, not will they retrospectively prove successful antibiotic treatment of borrelia infection."
04/15/1983 - "[Chronic erythema migrans and tick-transmitted meningopolyneuritis (Garin-Bujadoux-Bannwarth): Borrelia infections?]."
01/01/2010 - "mysorens was proven to be causative for the erythema by direct isolation from the affected skin and a positive serology, thus explaining the atypical appearance of the erythema compared to erythema migrans caused by Borrelia infection. "

01/01/2008 - "Population-based study of diagnostic assays for Borrelia infection: comparison of purified flagella antigen assay (Ideia, Dako Cytomation) and recombinant antigen assay (Liaison, DiaSorin)."
07/01/2015 - "Broad diversity of host responses of the white-footed mouse Peromyscus leucopus to Borrelia infection and antigens."
08/15/2007 - "A small part of these dogs also had antibodies directed against the IR6 (C6) antigen which indicates persistent active Borrelia infection. "
01/01/2007 - "From an initial screening of 244 patients with suspected Borrelia infection or disease, 4 informative recombinant antigens were selected: OspC (Borrelia afzelii), p41-1 (Borrelia garinii), p41-2 (B. "
12/01/2013 - "Serological evidence of Borrelia infection in these patients was also confirmed by elevated IgG and IgM antibodies against the major protein antigens of B. "

03/01/1999 - "In this study, spontaneous, as well as Borrelia-specific, secretion of IFN-gamma (Th1) and IL-4 (Th2) in Borrelia-seropositive healthy asymptomatic individuals (n = 17) was investigated in peripheral blood by a sensitive ELISPOT assay, and compared with previously reported responses in patients with clinical Borrelia infection (n = 25). "

04/01/2010 - "Because the clinical symptoms of Borrelia infection are widely variable, neuroborreliosis should be considered in patients with brainstem encephalitis refractory to conventional immunotherapies."

12/01/2003 - "Borrelia infection was observed in 95% of mice by the co-feeding method, in 92% of mice by xenodiagnosis, in 69% and in 68% of mice by cultivation of ear and back skin biopsies, respectively. "

12/01/1989 - "Since intrauterine transmission of Borrelia infection has been described, the inevitable question of whether this disease can also be transmitted as a result of blood transfusion becomes a major concern. "

11/01/2002 - "Our interpretation of the results is that the remaining neuropathy signs after treatment of ACA are neurological sequelae and not manifestations of persisting Borrelia infection."
