http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21842293 The presence of serum antibodies against B. burgdorferi sl was measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and confirmed by Western blotting in 96 AAA and 108 peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients. Lyme is not JUST A BAD KNEE.
Yet they are never tested and never treated. Think how many they could pick up if the Elisa was dumped.

Good study! Thanks
I didn't realize that 3-17% of the German population was seropositive for Lyme. That's a lot of people!

So are all those poor people they are pushing with more immune suppression for their arterial vasculitis...
And-High BP due to infection damaged bodies that are never tested and treated.
It makes me sick to think how many millions...And they do nothing.
Think how many they would find if they would just leave OFF the Elisa....Mindboggleing.

Whether it be Serbia or South Carolina, I hope doctors wake up and start using molecular diagnostics to test patients blood. Unfortunately, 150 year old technology (cultures) are still the norm and the "standard of care," if used at all. ________________
Exp Appl Acarol. 2012 Jul 7. [Epub ahead of print] Analysis of pathogen co-occurrence in host-seeking adult hard ticks from Serbia.
Tomanović S, Chochlakis D, Radulović Z, Milutinović M, Cakić S, Mihaljica D, Tselentis Y, Psaroulaki A. Source Laboratory for Medical Entomology, Department for Parasitology, Center of Exellence for Toxoplasmosis and Medical Entomology, Institute for Medical Research, University of Belgrade, Dr. Subotića 4, POB 102, 11129, Belgrade, Serbia, [email protected]. Abstract Past studies in Serbia have reported concurrent infections of Ixodes ricinus ticks with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Francisella tularensis. As a step forward, this investigation included a broader range of microorganisms and five most common and abundant tick species in Serbia. Five tick species were identified (Dermacentor marginatus, D. reticulatus, Haemaphysalis punctata, H. concinna and I. ricinus) and analyzed for the presence of seven pathogens. Anaplasma ovis, A. phagocytophilum, Babesia canis, B. burgdorferi s.l., Coxiella burnetii, Rickettsia helvetica and R. monacensis were detected. Sequencing of samples positive for F. tularensis revealed the presence of Francisella-like endosymbionts. No Bartonella spp. DNA was amplified. Concurrent infections were present in three tick species (D. reticulatus, H. concinna and I. ricinus). The rate of co-infections was highest in I. ricinus (20/27), while this tick species harbored the broadest range of co-infection combinations, with dual, triple and a quadruple infection(s) being detected.
