title: [Preparations for serodiagnosis of diseases due to causative agents of ixodes tick-borne borreliosis (Lyme disease). Communication 3. Comparative study of enzyme immunoassay test-systems for detection of IgM to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato].
abstract: Three foreign and one Russian ELISA test-systems for detection of IgM to Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato were comparatively studied with the use of the clinical material in an encoded experiment. In the foreign ELISA test-systems based on the use of native antigens of borrelia, cross reactions with sera from patients with syphilis, Epstein-Barr infection, cytomegalovirus infection and systemic lupus erythematosus were detected. The Russian recombinant ELISA test-system Borreliosis-ELISA-IgM showed high sensitivity and specificity. The simultaneous use of the test-systems for detecting IgG and IgM significantly increased the efficacy of diagnosis of early borreliosis.
