In a retrospective long term study, clinical findings and kinetics of the antibody response from 148 patiens with Lyme borreliosis in early and late stages were investigated. 534 serumsamples of Patients with Lyme borreliosis and 206 control samples were evaluated by different serological tests, including a newly developed, densitometricaly evaluated LineBlot. Serological results were discussed and opposed to clinical findings.
The study showed, that the kinetics of the antibody response is following certain patterns, that do not correlate to clinical symptoms. After adequate antibiotic treatment, the therapeutic outcome is good.
