RESUMO
Western immunoblot with a whole-cell lysate was compared with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with a purified flagellum antigen of Borrelia burgdorferi for serodiagnosis of Lyme borreliosis. The assays showed similar sensitivities and specificities in detecting immunoglobulin M and/or immunoglobulin G antibodies in sera from 68 patients with neuroborreliosis and 44 controls with meningitis and encephalitis or with multiple sclerosis. Flagellum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is more easily standardized and seems to be a more suitable diagnostic test in a routine laboratory.
