Mitigating Potential Bias
• Funding for research program / honorarium has nothing to do with Lyme disease

Factors that affect Diagnostic accuracy
• Type of specimens • Collection time with respect to disease state • Kinetics of antibody expansion • Methodology (i.e. molecular, cultivation,
serology, etc) • Bacterial strains
– Travel History
• Prevalence

Laboratory Diagnosis of Lyme disease
• Serology (two tier algorithm) – EIA
• Whole cell EIA • VlsE C6 peptide • VIsE1 / C10 peptide
– Western Blot
• PCR – For synovial fluid or CSF
• Culture – Up to 50% in EM
• Tests with uncertain performance – Antigen detection – Immunologic markers
• CD57 – NK cells • Elispot

Two Tier Tesing
• Western blots can not be used independent of EIAs – EIAs are quantitative, blots are subjective – IgM western blots have poor specificity. Only
diagnostic if used in first 6 weeks of infection – European species can be falsely negative on NA

• Individual proteins differ widely in their sensitivity and specificity in predicting final IgG WB result
• P39 and VlsE most consistent but ROC of these is < 90% • No one protein is >90% predictive (ROC >90%) of IgG WB result • Reducing level of response needed for a band to be considered
positive slightly increases sensitivity but decreases specificity

New antigenic Targets • Antigens expressed early in mammalian infection
– C6, a conserved 26 amino acid peptide within the Variable major protein-like sequence (VlsE1)
– recombinant VlsE1 itself – pepC10, a conserved 10 amino acid peptide portion of
OspC • Immune response to VlsE1 are IgG mediated, even in
early disease, while pepC10 generates an early and sometimes lasting IgM response (2, 5, 28).
• B. burgdorferi lipoprotein BBK07 – an immunodominant antigen, is an in vivo-induced surface antigen which is selectively expressed during mammalian infection Porwancher et al., Clin. Vaccine Immunol. 2011 18:851-859

Alternative Methods can Lead to Spurious Results
• Fallon et al., 2014. Clin Infect Dis 59(12):1705–10 • In-house laboratory criteria for a positive IgM WB at Specialty Laboratory B were ≥2 of the following bands:
23–25, 31, 34, 39, 41, 83/93. Criteria for a positive IgG WB were ≥2 of the following bands: 23–25, 31, 34, 39, 41, 83/93.

Diagnosis of Re-infection Is A Challenge
• There is no test of cure • Re-infection identified in 5 prospective studies of
Lyme disease in the US – Rate of re-infection/year - 1.2 – 3.1% – Usually EM at a different site
• No pattern has been identified to differentiate re-infection from previous infections
• Seroconversion or a 4x rise in titre could indicate re-infection – difficult to do

Diagnostic Challenges Summary
• Poor performance of serology in early infection • Seroconversion may not occur with early treatment • No test of cure – • serology can persist for a decade • Diagnosis of re-infection is a challenge • Influence of biodiversity needs to be explored further • No current diagnostic testing for PLDS
![Page 30: English: Dr. Todd F. Hatchette](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a64fe857f8b9a223a8b482b/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Urgent Need for Well Characterized Samples
• Convenient samples are used for determining sensitivity and specificity
• Difficult to compare new tests if reference is based on 2-tier serological results
• Unable to easily study bacteria by molecular methods
• CDC does have a serum repository and some access to that panel is offered to Canada – Limited resource – Better to have Canadian context
![Page 31: English: Dr. Todd F. Hatchette](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a64fe857f8b9a223a8b482b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Diagnostic Challenges Summary
• We need better defined cohorts to have specimens to validate new methods as they get developed – Early Localized Lyme disease (30 days) – Early Disseminated Lyme disease ( < 3 months) – Late Lyme disease (> 3 months) – Post Lyme Disease Syndrome – Chronic Lyme disease
• Diagnosis based solely on clinical features • Diagnosed with alternative testing methods
