(A) Examples of positive Lyme IgM (lane 1) and IgG (lane 2) Western blots (MarDx Inc). The IgM and IgG bands in the CDC interpretive criteria are indicated. (B) VlsE–IgG Western blots (Viralab Inc, not currently FDA-approved in the U.S.) ( 26 ). Sequential sera from a culture-confirmed EM patient are shown in lanes 1 to 4. Serum samples were collected at Baseline (BL, lane 4), 8 days (d8, lane 3), 20 days (d20, lane 2) and 3 months (3m, lane 1) post onset of illness.
